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
He growled and disappeared -
"You are not the only one who is in pain..
You are the one with experiences but a stollen brain..."
I wrote -
"Yes, I am not the only one who is in pain..
Omg!! Thank god, that life is more pathetic than mine - a way towards inspiration gain
Even after my creator's funeral,
Even after my special bond's forever farewell,
Even after the forcefull replacement of my creator,
Even after sacrificing more and more...
Now, the 'inspiration gain' way is locked,
With the 'life - death fight' of a girl's first hero is being poked."
I wrote because -
there's no ear to hear,
there's no hands to wipe out tears
But there's my pen and paper
Pen being the sword, cutting down the track of pain
Paper being the shield, distracting by shielding pain.
