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
She was too young to understand,
the meaning of forever,
but who would have known in between reading those lines,
she'll RISE IN LOVE, one day!
His charming persona captivated her eyes,
maybe that was love at first sight.
Those butterflies in the stomach,
rosary blush on her cheeks,
she knew the moment,
this glitter is a gold,
Not a flickering spree!
In real life,
love stories doesn't necessarily have a fairytale end.
These two idiots never confessed! Those 3 magical spells!
If she will meet him in this lifetime,
She will say it aloud,
How intact is all his beautiful vibes,
Those wonderful smiles!
She will tell him,
How she never ever cringed at her choice,
How she doesn't found his exact vibe.
She will tell him,
She knows LOVE,
only because of him.
She will tell, she will tell him all, including those 3 magical spells!
