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

SAFARI INTO THE NOVUS ÉCRIVAINE (1 reply and 1 comment)

PAVITHRA RAJENDRAN J

There they lay,

Clusters of crushed draft;

Possessing locutions of my frantic hunch.

Conceived with vehemence &

Perceived with my imperfections.

The recited sagas might

Forecast my serendipity.

And often, the schemes of rhyme

Which I slip by time.

Now, the shattered heart utters

A stirring tale of vie.

Finally, C’est battle of thoughts

and words was over,

when the juvenile writer won.

WRITTEN BY,

PAVITHRA RAJENDRAN J

Thank you for submitting your poem to be considered for Featured Poem.  It is definitely a complicated message and I will spend some time reading and rereading it.  I thank you very much for sharing it with me, Susan

Thank you for the opportunity, Susan. Besides, it is a great work you do! Encouraging many poets who don't have a platform and recognition. Bon journée à vous!
