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
Be someone's apple of the eye
And let her sadness passes by
Injustice to assign on her spy
You need not get it to verify
My love who calls you thy !
Just hold and stand beside my
Pain will automatically be fly
Don't ever more leave for cry
Tears have drifted to dry
My love who calls you thy !
She was Portraited in the Sky
Reckon, how much she's high
And you were left only to sigh
Justice is still asking Why
My love who calls you thy !
Why running after that guy
From earth to the sky
Whether someone is going to deny
both will solemnly come to die
My love who calls you thy !
