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

Dream catcher (1 reply)

Oh, I feel sour

I felt sour , until we crashed

I never was urged to be stable

I dreamt, I dreamt of a dream which has to end as real ?

A phase came ! It said me to feel sour , not alone

Alone, I was alone, love passed by!

A day, my day , met my dream

The dazzling eyes, charming smile, honest look!

A fortnight, made me sort you out !

In the immediate past,

A dream catcher who feels me with me

A dream catcher who has come in my dreams to dream with me

A dream catcher who is reason for my realistic dream

I know, now I know ! You are the dream catcher for life !

I no more need to be sour

Wish, I wish this is real ; dream  isn’t

Thank you for submitting your poem for consideration for Featured Poem of the Month for July.  What an interesting and thought-provoking word "sour" as it pertains to how you feel.  It is really quite unique and conjures up all sorts of images for the word "sour."  Good poetry should certainly make us think and question and wonder and a good poem should also touch us in a personal way.  Perhaps, many who read your poem will relate to having had that "sour" feeling experience.  I thank you very much for sharing your poem with me, Susan
