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
And one day, all will stop
The hurt you gave me won't hurt me
The lies won't be so painful
The heart won't beat for you
The eyes won't cry seeing you
The lips would be tightly locked
The skin will turn numb
And that day would be my last breath still feeling same for you
You will be in oceans of regret seeking forgiveness from my ashes
And the only thing you would realise is you were late to feel the regret.
Smiling deep content I would be among stars
Seeing you and wishing you to calm
But the fire of regrets and guilts would burn you
And then all left would be memories ❤️
