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
It's been an arithmetic cultivation though
For a renowned seedling
Similarity fades the moment, the tip flares
Was it a delicacy that my muscles prompted to etch?
Every drop of nectar that is sweeter ever-more than I read
How toxic rather a palanquin deprives
Maa! You denied to query her baby , she's born
As maa, thou awakes all tiny heavy for her visit
Just pricked up the enlarged cell of poetry to master them
They stick a firm reason for the nip to go beyond a rampage
And catch and catch - a falcon to be inside you
Seems like evil owes to pay the way
If not being sure, else make it true
By making you the judge to the heart of judiciary
I write, Yes not a good one instead a version of myself
To salute every other authors trying to pedal and bloom!!!
