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
Hey Susan, many congratulations on your great initiative" FEATURED POEM OF THE WEEK", Glad to mention my entry.
Utter world under dark,
Urge of a spark.
Clouds of uncertainty,
Engulfing every vicinity!
Snatching away freedom,
Taking away happiness.
Beings are in a mess,
Wanna be back in harness!
Try and figure out change,
In indoors, there is a range.
Tighten your shoe lace,
And focus on the race.
Time to show some courage,
Without bringing that rage!
Solitary on your stance,
And mask on your face.
Precaution is the remedy,
Against the deadliest malady!
Healthy and nutritional diets,
Are other ways to fight.
Stick to the basics,
Without being shy,
And say corona bye!
