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

No it's not your hand I want
It's not your lips
It's your eyes i want to stay in it

Thank you for sharing this very romantic and delightfully honest poem.  I would suggest, if I may, that the last word in the poem should be "them" not "it" if you are referring to "your eyes." (Plural) Or, you could just end the line with the word "in."  That would work too.  A very fine example of a short poem that creates an image for us to feel as well as understand.  I will be featuring your poem in one of my poetladykatz Instagram posts, in the next couple of weeks.  Your friend in poetry, Susan
