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

Unannounced sudden
Knock on your door
But your fragile
Heart not willing
To open the door
Mind not ready
To accept the
Sound of the bell

Some questions Just
popping In your head
But mind is busy
Distracting itself
Not to answer
But heartbeat still
Gives proof of
Something existence
Inside you

                  U try to run
                  U try everything
                  But it become
                  useless and u
                  Start enjoying every
                  unplanned moments
                  And finally you fall
                  And it just happens

Thank you for sharing your poem with me.  I feel the emotion and the uncertainty that the poem is expressing and there is a nice (and happy) resolution to the poem.  I would have liked to have seen more in the way of images (less telling and more showing) but there is no doubt that this poem came from the heart.  It is a bit long for me to consider for my current request for 2 to 4 line, un-rhymed poems, using imagery.  But I am very grateful for your interest in poetladykatz and thank you, once again, for sharing your work with me.  Your friend in poetry, Susan
