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
Off late I have not seen my mirror
I have not done my messy hair
Nor there is kohl in my eyes
Or nor any accessories I pair.
I love to adorn myself and care
The world says I am intoxicated
I can't see that I look my worst
But then l have a mirror in someone's profound eyes.
Where the atmosphere is sacred and pure
I am beautiful that I believe
I am no more superficial
The love is not fermented,its fresh as the season's first night flowering jasmines.
A gift I offer ,a mirror for you ,where the soul can be seen and is ready for a cure.
