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

I come to you when I'm in pain

You never let that go in vain....

I remember you when I feel lost

you never let that last so long....

I send a text saying I'm sorry

You send a reply that takes of that story....

I dial your number to deal with myself

You join up and deal directly with myself....

I say to you that I hate myself 

You make me love me by all yourself

I say to you that you are the best 

You gave to me all your best....

I say I owe you for all your love

You say you love me for all your life....

You brought up the best inside of me 

By being the best in front of me....

You make me feel so so great 

That vanishes off all my pain....

And that's how I realized that you are my AMIGO!!!

Thank you for sharing this very intimate and very loving poem with me.  How wonderful to have someone in your life who makes you feel better about yourself.  I was very taken by the line "You make me love me by all of yourself."  What more would anyone want from a relationship than someone who helps us love ourselves!  - Susan
