Welcome to my Poet Lady Chat Room. I would like to invite you to click on the chat box and type in a question, a suggestion, submit a poem, in other words – “chat with me.” I may, if you submit a poem, decide to feature it in my Poem of the Week section or, we may simply exchange ideas and suggestions about your poem.
This is a place to “talk” poetry with someone who has loved it all her life. I have a true passion for the possibilities of poetry and would love to hear your thoughts and/or read your poem. I will be happy to offer my reaction to your work and, based on over 40 years of teaching poetry, organizing, and conducting poetry workshops, working as a book review editor for an international poetry magazine, authoring five books of poetry and two textbooks on teaching poetry, send along my thoughts on ways to make your poem stronger and more impactful.
If you’re on my site, you have a connection to poetry. Feel free to connect with me – right here -right now, by typing your message into the “chat box” and clicking send. I’m waiting…
Your friend in poetry, Susan
FEATURED POEM
(So I wrote this poem in March ,20 on the situations existing during that time)
The world's daily chaos is halted..
People are spending time with their families with movies and popcorn salted..
The birds are chirping and dancing joyfully..
Why not?..
They have got their happy world back which they deserve truly..
People are running back to their hometowns..
The NRIs suddenly realised they are brown..
The forgotten parents got back their children home..
Lets pray for our friends in Wuhan and Rome..
No more pollution in the magnificent blues.. No superpowers have any curable clues..
The air is getting clean and clear..
Where are your nuclear weapons my dear..?
Can your bank account improve your health account..?
Can your gold reserves decrease the death count?..
Where is the religion for which you guys fight?..
The virus isn't racist it attacks indiscriminately everyone with all its might...
I see unity as the only light..
Which can make this world again bright..
