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
It stares me blush,
Over the appreciated task.
It hears my scream,
When I am shattered.
It gazes my smile
Upon the flattery words.
It knows my conspired theory
Against the hypocrites.
It sees me exhausted
At the motherhood age
It leverages me up
The moments I am broken.
It makes me feel lively
After the odd spent days.
It's aware of changes
That my body adapts
It still adores my beauty
With a beautiful smile.
And that's the virtual 'ME'
