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
A glance is enough to make me feel,
To make me feel loved and wanted and beautiful.
A touch is enough to make me feel
To make me feel alive and young and Existing.
When I gaze upon him, in all his glory and finess,
I can feel a stirring, deep deep inside me
When I touch my lips to his,
The stars in my eyes shine so bright.
As we bind together and fuse as one,
The world trembles and explodes and shatters to pieces.
And as I sign with pleasure and joy,
His name upon my lips, his arms around me, his heart next to mine.
I feel
I feel loved and wanted and beautiful and alive.
