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

My Broken heart about YOU (1 reply)

Baby you're my weakness,

But I know that you're careless

Every nights you appear on my dreams, 

I just always thinking of our scenes. 

I dunno what's the end for this story,

But my mind still thinking that you care me.

Baby..i need me,the old me,that care me

Oh my baby,

leave me or stand with me, 

kill me or live with me,

burn me or grow with me.

Tell me what you feel or kill me by your hate. 

Dunno what to say, but don't put plasters to your feelings.

Don't wear silence,just show me the truth,

Say Onto my face, or go away that's our end.

Thank you for sharing your very dramatic and heart-felt poem with me.  I can feel the need and the pain and longing that you describe in your poem.  I can feel "you" in your poem and that is, truly, the beginning of good poetry.  I do believe you need to check your English tenses on many of your words and also, meanings of many words, as well as, I could wish you had depended less on rhyme and more on images (metaphors and similes.)  The poem's message is powerful and I am happy to add it the many poems I've received and am considering for Featured Poem of the Month for July.  - Susan
