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 remembered that evening when we were together,
Even the sunset seemed a bit peculiar.
You raised your hand and kept on mine,
Gradually, the stars emerged and shined.
It seemed as though every chamber in your heart was taciturn for me ,
Your lethiferous appearance attracted me .
That evening your eyes were the one staring me,
Your amiable look towards me which I could see.
My cheeks became refescent, I began to feel shy,
The moment you started the conversation and said "Hi".
The firmament began to fade its brightness,
The breeze began to spread its coolness.
I knew I was loquacious,
but your presence made me speechless.
Our conversation began,
Things were moving with celerity until ichor gushed out from your organ.
I screeched seeing your wound,
suddenly you fell on the ground.
Tears were rolling down my eyes,
because you were important to me than other lives.
I remember the last words before your demise,"WE WILL COALESCE ONE DAY".,
And your soul was parted with my dreams from this world which I remember till today🥀
