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

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!!!

Thank you for sharing your poem with me.  There are some very good moments in your poem and you have managed to convey the strong feelings you have.  There is, for me, a bit of confusion with the language at times.

They stick a firm reason for the nip to go beyond a rampage

And catch and catch

I am a bit confused by these lines and wonder if it might be a translation issue.  In any event, your poem is filled with passion and purpose and that, is the heart of poetry.  Your friend in poetry, Susan
