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
Hi Susan
I have seen an advertisement of your website on Instagram and I liked it a lot. So, I wanted to share one of my poems with you.
Hope you'll like it.
It's called the 66th Street
Have I told you about the 66th street
Where the birds sing
and the tree gossip
On the 66th street the
Aunties mingle under the tree shade
and the kids play in the noon
But sometimes in a rare purple nightfall
I have seen two love birds meet
The moon was a flower
Which was releasing its scent
that was surrounding the perfect meeting
You should visit the 66th street
maybe you can come across
the giant flower
the purple nightfall
or could hear the trees
and maybe, just maybe
You might see the perfect meeting!
