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
And then I closed my eyes
Walked slowly, enjoying every single step
Trying to feel every single moment
I am a refugee , in search of safe heaven
Hoping to find home , a small home
With a tiny Garden Would be more than enough
In a land where ,
Butterflies with wings of kindness are seen ...
Where witches covering herb Gardens are seen ....
Where kids posting letters to the fairy godmothers are seen ...
Where the soil is tranquil and love drizzles upon them
Giving life to Everything ....
Where I live peacefully
Knitting my hopes into reality
Sitting near my orieal Window , waiting patiently
For my origami cranes to Finally fly
Wanting to see them flying away
To the horizons I never got a chance to explore
And
When the dusk Finally engulf the day
With all the mesmerising Memories of the day
I will go to sleep placidly
To unending time ....
