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
Started as a hope, ended as wage war
Fought and fighting, better than before
But still ascending up, once again
Attain the top, with the pain
Across the greenway and betray
Propelling all my antagonism away
Lock stock and barrel has its own price
Sail the hell to reach the paradise
Struggling for the desire never becomes tire
Show the world you got the fire
You the only one who got your back
In the beginning, it will be always black
No need of a motivation
If you’re your own inspiration
Just as my one dream end
It’s beginning for another one.
