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
With morning tea
And sweet breeze
Days and nights of crease
giggled laughter
Moments busted with one liners
That were the days
Of swings and parks
Now i stand in
Alone in train
Running both in
And out of my
Cerebral hemisphere
Reminding me for
Next big station
Normally called
REAL LIFE
With morning tea
And data sheets
With house keys
And toast in hand
With a band
Of responsibility
And tention
Im in new world
Called REAL LIFE
With forgotten friendships
With benefits
With acquaintances
With roller coaster
I choose to breathe
For single moment
With creased smile
I begin
My life in REAL LIFE
