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
Everything is fine, sorry was fine.
Yes, I was selfish, selfish for wanting you fully with me
May be I wanted to create a diary of Love, Hope and faith
That wasn’t sudden and obvious , your love just decreased and decreased and vanished… and there wasn’t love but possession and possession.
I was holding on and on and on.. The misery you gave just ate me half with time..
My mind says, Let go, heart opposes it!
Dragging back of what I can never get any more is foolishness
It’s hard, it’s hell at times.. leaving my person- really hard
But the FREEDOM AND PEACE is what I needed and that was only after letting go!
And about happiness yes, it’s on the way.. !
The night, I withstood the whole night supporting and hoping for, but wakeup darling! It’s morning I won’t be there..
Suffering is very privated and painful, face it, it’s time.
