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
Hey! Shut up!!
Goes my mind voice.
Is it I'm dumb?
Or is it futile saying?
You don't know the truth!
Goes my mind voice.
Is it that i too don't know?
Or it's you who couldn't understand?
You're wrong!
Goes my mind voice.
I could explain! but
You ready to hear?
You have mistaken!
Goes my mind voice.
Isn't there any trust
Or someone stole it?
I listen, I take
Whatever you say,
Whenever you scream,
No matter how I am.
When are you gonna listen?
When are you gonna trust?
When are you gonna know?
When are you gonna love?
However you are...
All of my thoughts,
All of my voice,
All of my love,
Is you.
