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

When the mind is full

And the heart empty,

It brings some thoughts

That creates an imagery,

Into prose or poetry

Comes alive through my words

Express but not to impress

Means much more than said...

Another well written poem that expresses your feelings clearly and poetically.  I do very much like your line "express but not to impress" because I don't think poetry is meant to impress but rather, it is meant to speak our inner selves, our hearts, our souls.  Thank you for sharing.  I will get this along to my Instagram Programmer and it will be featured, one day soon, on my Instagram page.  - Susan
