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

She is the depth of my ocean..

         She is the extreme of my Sky..

         She is the gloom in my light...

         She is the bloom in my smile..

          She is the blossom in my garden...

          She is the beauty in my face..

           She is my dialect....

            She gave me the sunrise...

             She show me the Spring fall..

           She throw me the dawn show..

             She gave me the Smile..

              She gave me the Love...

             She gave me the Life....

              But, She took my heart...

              She is mine.....

Very loving and very nicely done.  You have a light and appealing rhythm to your poem and certainly, a great deal of emotion.  May I suggest a couple of things that are grammatically incorrect - " show" should be "shows" - and "throw" should be "throws" - and you might want to add the word "and" between Spring - Fall.  I think this is a very well thought-out and well-written poem - beautiful imagery.  I do very much like "the dawn show..." and your ending.  Your friend in poetry, Susan
