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 can't pour what I feel in inked words. For, you're an avalanche of awesome.
You don't realize you already gave me a part of you to be able to be apart from you.
The day you slid beside me in the sheets, hugged me frantically, stroking my hair, was the day I loved you more than the Lord loves humans.
However I've realised it's time to return the part I borrowed in the name of love and I extend our bond to sole humans and not souls meant to be binded.
I set us free. Free enough to embrace our own spiritual journeys.
