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

A call in March,

By the honouring blooms,

The time to vanish wrath,

 The time for foe and friends,

While strolling over whispering birds!

-swetha.

Good Morning from Connecticut, USA.  Thank you for sending me your "March" poem.  I very much like the gentle rhythm of it and the quiet, but clear message.  However, there are a couple of suggestions I would like to make.

A call in March,

By the honouring blooms, (This does not translate well into English -"honored" blooms would work)

The time to vanish wrath,  (Is it "the" time or "A" time?

The time for foe and friends, (Is it "the" time or "A" time?)

While strolling over whispering birds! (We would not stroll "over" birds - that would be stepping on them - we might stroll to the sound of whispering birds.)

If you would like to make some edits, please resubmit and I will consider your poem for a future "featured poem" - probably the last week in March.

Thank you for sending and for your interest in https://www.poetladykatz.com  - Susan
