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
An unadorned gal having no daydream of own,
Family said sound of this or that vocation;
To them never she said no;
And to their bidding give a nod.
She relishes the versatility in her pen;
But there's no rose without a thorn.
The world is green with envy to her fate;
To which her kindness is the bold riposte.
She nabs the masses owning hate;
Then inaugurate the hidden snakes.
While quashing stones on the struggle bus;
Gold of her life hugged the Gal.
