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
The air is warmer than before
And The sun is no more,
Hiding behind the clouds anymore.
The Breeze whispering in your ears,
Like a soft feather on the skin
Welcome the spring is here,
So let go of the wilderness of the cold.
Walk from the sidelines,
To the center of your life.
The spotlight won't hurt you anymore,
Your frozen heart needs to melt into
Tears of strength and belief in you,
The new leaves are coming
I promise ,
And with it the new you.
