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
I am not what you think!
People are sure on strolls,
To pass on the critical judgement,
I am no more than a pursuer,
Swirling over my lifeless goals!
I won't let people to judge me,
I judge my own self through time,
Breaking through the walls of nine,
Clashing around with flashing intrepid efforts!
What are you souls staring at?
It's me who mould my own future,
Relishing my life of truce as becoming mature,
Alas! It's not a story about you judge,
Dear, I am the heroine of my own story,
Bestowing the enternal glory!
Every one are the main characters,
Of their own respective life too,
It's not about what others think,
It matters how you think about yourself passionately!
