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
Naked portrait
I am part of the shadow and the dark
Flowers filled fields and lonely white streets
Nostalgia up in the clouds
I see lies of the past and raindrops On skin
Something fresh untouched
A dreamer and the killer of dreams
Roses but just their thorns
Look to far lands where no words come
Trace the footsteps to a great climb
And daisies you will find
Harsh kisses of sunlight
Firmly piercing through the dark
a galaxy? I am not
Princesses and prince
I am part of the forgotten ones
wallflowers blooming on the side
Notice the thieves between the lines
A glimpse inside an illusion
A hand cuddling nightmare
A lover of the truest kinds
I am part of an unreachable
thought outside your mind
~Sarah
