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

Fancy World by Afrah Asif (1 reply)

" I accidentally delete the filter which suits me ,

Now they hated The 'real me' "

 

Fancy world,

Full of charms ,

Beautiful souls,

With dusky pasts.

 

Changing myself to be the 'fancy me',

Commingling myself into the shimmers of others glee.

 

Descent souls,

In sparkling world ,

Covering themselves ,

in miserable folds.

 

If world put the glass of reality,

All they can see is miseries behind the beauty .

Thank you so much for submitting your spirited and meaningful poem for consideration for Featured Poem of the Month, for June.  You say a great deal, with few words, which of course, is the fundamental principle of poetry.  Thank you for sharing your work with me, Susan
