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 am rowing a boat called "Life",
And I don't know when I reach my destination,
With so many flaws and claws,
The path becomes more significant to watch!
Will the fate become my sun,
Or will it become my thunder to concern?
Destiny lies with their hands,
And i am rowing along with faith!
I am rowing this boat cautiously,
Unable to predict a upcoming tide,
Where might this boat lead me?
I don't know the answer yet!
Meeting both foe and friends,
My journey has become a fairytale story,
With astonishments to pen down,
Maybe a time to scribble in my diary!
Ahead of this journey,
Lies my fated destiny,
Where I can be proud and carry my pride,
Of this boat called "Life!"
