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

That lonely night... (1 reply)

Let the blowing winds 

know about your day.

 

Let the moisture of

your sadness join

the moving

clouds.

 

Let the whiteness

of the moon calm

your soul.

 

Let that curve

widen on your

cheek.

 

Let your lids block

your Iris.

Let your thumping

heart rest.

 

And then jump into

this dark ocean of

dreams and

mindfulness.

Thank you very much for submitting your poem for consideration for Featured Poem of the Week.  This gentle, lyrical poem is very well written and, like a soft breeze, takes us on a journey into imagery and emotion.  I appreciate your sharing it with me, Susan
