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
He now rather FIERCELY tried erasing it and almost monstrously,
His towering RAGE was
burning so hot,
Now he wants to COVER it up!
He knows it!
With that Eraser literally crying!
That man was a wild DRAGON that moment!
But he wasn't able to ERASE it
But that furious man who just looked like as if he was Burning with an ANGRY Flame so furiously,
tried again more WILDLY,
Now,
The white paper began to have a bit of a BLACKISH tinge about it
It looked like as if that had been erased but it wasn't erased
And in the midst of that marvelous crowd of the eraser shavings, the Eraser was slowly CONTRACTING
Finally, he could not erase it and could not do anything about it
As GUILT wouldn't erase off that easily!
