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
The Ballet of butterflies!
Such large mesmerizing wings,
With enchanting swings,
There are no dukedom of kings,
To wake them in flings!
Such carefree movements,
I wonder if they are in some sort of dance?
To make the world take a glance,
At their flapping dashing waltz!
Two antennas like ears,
Looking forward to the skies,
Like an ballerina who is flawless,
Luring out audience at small steps of glides!
A ballerina fly that is too restless,
Ends up taking a break away from the stage,
After a few minutes,
She turns up her own page,
By going on to the next nature stage,
Leaving behind her soul with previous tree mage,
She loves her ballet without hesitation,
Hoping on to the next stage,
To lure out souls with her fluttering ballet,
Which is a performance with absolute warrent!
- swetha.
