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 is all about you

Your eyes speaks a lot

Being the rarest of all

I fell in love with your soul

Ahh, the purest form

You reside in my poem.

I really love your last line!  What a beautiful tribute to someone, to have fallen in love with their "soul" and have both that love and their soul "reside in my poem."  Very well done and I would just like to suggest that the words " a lot" at the end of the second line, really don't add anything to the poem and could easily be removed, giving the poem a "lighter" move lyrical feeling.  I will definitely be considering your poem for featuring on my poetladykatz Instagram page, one day in the next two weeks.  Thank you so very much for sharing your work with me. Your friend in poetry, Susan
