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

REASON TO LOVE IS ALWAYS LOVE. (1 reply)

The sun n the moon, & their forbidden love.
that's what Poets talk about
But no one ever noticed "A lover".
"The clouds"
When She's missing her beau, the Sun.
Shattered and wandering alone.
He's someone who stays selfless in love, Forever
He (cloud) cuddles her
& trys to make her feel loved again
But he finds the moon, cold & lost again
But still ..he stays with her.

Throughout that dark and lonely night.

Thank you so much for sharing your poem, about the nature of love, with me.  I was touched by how you managed to create a sense of reality in the relationship between the sun and moon and the sun and the clouds.  You must be a very good observer of nature and the drifting of day into night, and night into day.  I appreciate your sending in your poem and will add it to those I am considering for Featured Poem of the Month for June.  - Susan
