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
Enthusiastic, energetic, full of life
Words are not enough to describe her personal-self
She finds happiness in everything she sees
Buzzing around in excitement just like the honey-bees
She taught me how to take things lightly
Sometimes it's okay to show some tantrums slightly
A quick please, sorry and thank you
Will not make your status undervalue
Making me furious every once in a while
Soon she melts my heart with her innocent smile
Enchanting me with her purest soul
Her happiness is my only goal
A hug and kiss from her flushes away any of the stress
We are bounded by a divine tress
Carried her first in my womb and then in my heart
She is the light of our life right from the start
