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
When love reaches thy heart,
spring arrives with the fragrances of love;
the hymns of love from nightingales,
and the melodies of water with her beloved;
Fills the world of thee with giggles.
These wounds on your heart will heal,
your scars will vanish with this love;
The joyful smiles bloom;
The freshness of spring bows.
When my Nuthatch eyes reached me,
my eyes can't see the beauty of flowing water,
my ears deafen to hear the nightingale,
the falling world of mine falls;
But, the love of Nuthatch held me.
Her love healed my wounds,
vanished my scars,
The giggles of joy bloomed;
'Tis freshness of spring bowed in front of her smiles.
The wings of love reached my soul,
to wander around her kingdom,
to dive into her love,
and I drowned in her magical soul
