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 part of this world seems lonely & gridlocked
Our dreams have become very much our own & deep
In the light of country there is obscurity
Behind every smile there is a face of infelicity
If this is the truth then live every moment fully
Somebody may be defeated in front of time
While somebody is wondering in love
Learn the style of happiness
Let the lamp of humanity shine
with smile let tell the stones of bummer
I am part of that revolution which teach me
Not to give up now & never.
