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 hear those clouds making sounds
I thinks it's about to rain again
It's weird how the rain is hitting the ground
But on my heart I can feel the pain
Just how it's trying to get in the hearts, to help the memories escape
And again I do start dreaming of those genuine good old days
No, it's not about a guy, it's just the old and happy me
Whom I lost somewhere, while pleasing other he and she
She used to be so passionate, she was a careless soul
She used to be so perfect, perfect in one and all
She used to run in muddy swamp
Unbothered of the world dancing in the rain
But now,
She is just another broken soul
Writing the words she never said before
Still among all the chaos
She waits for that rainbow far and wide
Cuz' it's raining on the ground
But she feels it inside ✍
