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
They have sperated me
from my Leaves,from my stem, from my Roots.
Because I am enough beautiful
So that they can sell me.
My petals are sprinkled on his bed
So that he can get pleasure out of me.
So that he can touch me ,
he can smell me.
They have sperated me.
I become old
Wrinkles are there,
My complextion becomes dark,
My cheeks are no more pink .
Now they are waiting for buds to grow into beautiful flowers
So that they can sell again
They have sperated us ,
from our leaves,from our stem,from our Roots.
