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
We were friends since childhood
I don’t know if it had to any good
He may be sometime rude
But he is the best I have that I finally conclude
And then I learn how to love a guy
Secretly as the years goes by
We grow up together and I just cant deny
Rending my feeling and leave it dry
He may be a geek
He may be a Holmes freak
He may be a huge magnet of chick
But in my heart he is the only one I seek,
And then one day when we were at school land
We spent the time hand in hand
We had fun oh so grand
Never had I thought I would loose him unplanned
He saw a man near a coaster
He bid good bye I thought its blither
And since that time I didn’t see him again
He call and say he will be back but when?
When will I see again his face
I want to see him but he say he has a case
He become missing without a trace
I miss him minutes, hours and days
And then one day a case for my father came
He show up like he still has fame
He solve the mystery just like the same
He beat the bad guy in his own game
At last I saw him again just like that
I wanted to cry but he will say I have gone mad,
After all the mystery that someone begat
He told me something he is so serious at
“please wait for me “he said
He told me like he will again go ahead
And I was right he just flew again
Leaving me again like an airhead
Tears fell from my eyes straight
But because I believe he is my fate
And he is the one I cant hate
So I will keep my promise and wait
I don’t know why he is always leaving
I know their got to be something
So for now for the one I am loving
I am here and I will be waiting
Even if it will take him forever
I am here to face that terror
