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

As the quote goes you're my sister from another mother…

And it's a fine thread that ties us together…

 

The first time we met you appeared to be rude and strict on the skin…

But, now I know there lies a heart of gold within…

 

But, now we are connected in such a way that…

The sunshine falls on the rays of our soul...

 

As we know  one day we must go to our parted ways…

But still a deep yearning lays…

 

Oh dear sister do not be afraid to make new friends…

Because ours is a friendship that knows no ends…

 

May you one day get the man of your dreams…

May it should be the way it seems…

 

As you go on with ur life, I hope you won't forget about your soul sister…

Because new memories can be cause of the old memories wither...

 

I also know one day once again we'll be whole…

That's the bond strengthens our soul…

What a lovely and moving "tribute" of love. Your poem "Soul Sister" speaks clearly about the bonds of love and friendship and declares in no uncertain terms that, once formed, they cannot be broken.  A poem that seems to come straight from your heart.  Thank you so much for sharing it with me, Susan
