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

Eternal sunshine of spotless mind (1 reply)

Insipid mornings and reckless nights
Like sky without kites
With you gone , with you lost
I mourn me , i hate me most
Eternal sunshine is fading
My truths and lies are mending
And even sky is losing its blue
We were here together like misty hue
You so close , but so apart
I so fast , but so late

Its better i let us demolish
As you demolished us
From every bit of your memory
Let me too erase you
I know if you can , i can too

Its like I'm forgetting me
And gasping for ours to stay
Playing every card
From honesty to seduction
Trying so hard
Trying so long
Just for little bit
Just for little while

I tried till last ounce
But they never stopped
I wanna blame them
But you and me are at fault
We are one storm caught

But we will meet again
Because our brain is wrecked
But our heart is joined
With the string of love

I thank you for submitting this very emotional poem with some very fine poetic moments.  It is unfortunately, too long for my current request for two to four line, un-rhymed poems using imagery, but you do definitely have a feel and talent for poetry, so please do keep on writing.  Your friend in poetry, Susan
