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

I am often a shore

Bearing the sands..

Of joy, sorrow, love and

regrets.....

Waiting for the tides 

to wash me into the oceans so deep

And sanctify me ....eventually where I can rediscover myself

Very impressive image (shore/tides) that you maintain throughout your poem.  Well done.  I like the flow of the poem - in keeping with your ocean/tidal theme and, I like your message of why you write poetry.  Well done - and thank you for sharing.  Your poem, as with all poems submitted, will be considered to be featured on my Instagram page, in the coming days.  Your friend in poetry, Susan
