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
The Dream
The Dream which I saw last night was of you,
You are of the most brightest face among the stars of few.
The brightness when fall on the ocean; of yours,
The large wave began to dance on ocean's shore.
Making the shape of the house, on ocean's surface,
The moon with full brightness walk down having your face.
The light enters the house with the face full of smile,
I welcomed that light and make myself star of that moon for a while.
He saw me with the face full of happiness and joy,
I started staring moon with all the helpless eye.
Suddenly a tear fall from my lens and moon gets scared,
He rubbed my tears and swallow it all and shouted at me as all he cared.
He grabbed my hands,hold me tight,kissed my forehead,
Comforted me with the words of blessing to shine with all the sparkling shade.
I sat on his lap and talked him with beautiful smile,
I kept looking at him and became his forever for a while.
Suddenly he gets up and told me of the time to get hide,
I started crying for a face to see which would never again going to slide.
He promised me to take care of myself and not to cry,
Started leaving my hands and I make myself losing in the world of shy.
I was helpless and all my hands raised towards the sky,
He then fade up to world up so high.
Suddenly all the clouds appears and shower the water in form of rain,
Having a blessing from a heart to other again.
As the rain stops the sky get cleared,
And the sun with full smile with warmth in hands appeared.
Yet the face of that moon was as similar as him,
He was mine forever last night in my dreams.
