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

From the depths of my heart you came,
Calling like the noisy, inquisitive woodpecker,
That keeps knocking on my windowpane,
The words flowed like a fresh stream,
Meandering through my bare bosom,
I let my emotions glide with it, painting,
My insights like a perfect portrait,
On that frail blank white paper!!

Very well done and very beautifully stated.  I love your image of that "noisy, inquisitive woodpecker/that keeps knocking on my windowpane..." because isn't that exactly what the need to write is like!  A pestering inside your head - a noise - a knocking - a need for the words to find their way onto "that frail blank white paper!"  Thank you so much for sharing.  I have already sent your piece along to my Instagram Programmer so that it can be featured, one day soon, on my Instagram page.  I thank you for your interest in poetladykatz and look forward to reading more of your work in the future.  Your friend in poetry, Susan
