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
She’s a mermaid of an ocean, eyes mirroring pearls
She’s the Aphrodite ohh god, as she smiles magic swirls
She’s a band of gleaming stars, sweeping all the gloom,
She’s a rose ousting beauty, I watch her as she blooms.
She’s a breeze of monsoon night, whispering in my ears
She’s a river of elixir, douses thirst with her tears.
She’s a never ending joy, I adore her as we meet,
She’s a wine of utmost richness, I enjoy her as a treat.
She’s a belle of the sky, giving complex to the moon
She’s a nightingale of a shore, I dance as she tunes.
She’s a blend of sparkling eyes, with long silky hair,
She’s an art of the God, to be handled with some care.
She’s a realm of spirituality, a glorious blue-eyed saint
She’s a sweet melodious song, as I listen, I get faint.
She’s an eternal beauty, as she smiles she kills many,
She’s a voice of my soul, a tranquilizing epiphany.
She’s like the autumn, as she sheds maple leaves.
She’s the Cinderella, whose shoe I wish to keep.
She’s the most divine, an elegant celestial queen
She’s the one who has, made me cheerful and serene.
