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
Murdering someone in the womb, they call it treason,
Even after birth, they live in a prison.
Living in four walls of the room,
They are taught to think of the groom.
Burring their expectations, covering their aspirations,
They live a life full of desperation.
Marrying someone by giving plethora of money,
Nurturing each and every relationship with harmony.
Bearing all turmoil and tantrum,
They look firm and venturesome.
Capable of giving life to someone,
They think of shielding their daughter or son.
Cultivating their children for good upbringing,
They seem like a attached string.
From birth till death, they remain the epitome of selflessness,
Known for spreading love, affection and kindness.
They are the warriors of their life,
Not a complicated daughter, mother or wife.
