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

Love at end when butterfly became the flaws

Thank you for sharing your work with me.  I have to be honest and say that your words do not clearly say what you want to say, in English.  I am unsure of the message - "love at its end is like the butterfly that becomes ("flaws" does not work here.)  I would love to know what your message is and it could be told in the form of an image.  If the message is, that - at the end love is flawed - then how does the butterfly represent that? if you choose to use the butterfly as your image, in what way is the butterfly flawed? The definition of flawed is "blemished, damaged, or imperfect in some way." "I think you have the beginning of a short one or two line poem, but now it needs to be crafted into something we can both understand, and relate to.  Please feel free to resubmit after you've had a chance to work on it.  Your friend in poetry, Susan
