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
The poetry depicts different shades of human beings like chocolate. The original state or the bitter one of bonbons is the way we mortals are in true sense and the other which is the sweet one or with sugercoatings is the way we people always tend to be Defying the cosmos.
Chocolate
Bittersweet is its cat bird attraction,
Like folks are maniacs for fascination,
Goeey , spice and hot is its eminence,
Like the mob bounded to affection.
Truth is embittered so are the bonbons,
Mellowness of their's can take to Abaddon,
Cacao is a true - blue in its dark and bitter bombshell,
Like mortals with so sugercoatings defying the cosmos.
