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

I'm the poet,
everyone understands
eluding the thundering sky
and the oval falls
To touch the inches of
my harvesting skin.

I'm the poet, of myself
No eye falls of none
Sprouting the pure love for me
And eternal breath sowed
I write my own poem.

I'm the poet,
searching the songs of shade
Exploration my favorite poem
Speaking the steps of the blooms.
I'm the title of the untouched story
Often shout over the buried hurry!

I'm my favorite poet
unleashing my furious envy
I'm my favorite poem
expressing the thread of love
I'm my favorite story
Writing my exciting harmony!

I apologize for the delay in my response.  I had personal issues to deal with and simply was  unable to read and comment on the numerous poems that were submitted.  However that, in no way, diminishes the fact that I am very impressed with your poem.  It is filled with a sense of self and the power of poetry to speak our truths.  You have some very fine images in your poem and it has a nice, compelling rhythmic flow.  Thank you so very much for sharing it with me.  - Susan
