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
Life with no achievements!
Life seems to be in vain,
For me to mourn with my unsatisfied,
Unpredictable desires to accomplish!
Where do I need to stroll for my destination?
Here and there my life lingers,
To explore and execute more,
Of my unattainable goals!
What is it that I am seeking for?
Looking around, feels so monotonous,
As watching millions of people,
Grabbing their dreams in flying colours!
What should I do from this moment on?
Everything seems so plain and dull,
That is, my life has rather become a routine,
Of same schedule, with nothing to explore!
Does my mind seem to be in a celebration for a good nap?
Everything becomes so unclear,
As I continue to permeate in this path,
Where I am just going along with my fate!
Will a day arise to become proud of myself?
-swetha.
