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
It's happening tonight,
A tale of untold myserty of light,
Behold, a crack in the sky so far,
Oh !! It's a star, A shining Star,
And it then multiplies...
In the thousand million silver twinkling eyes..
A soapsudded moon with the corally ocean,
Of quiet delivery ozes and rhapsody sun,
With the symphony of rays with the fluted notes,
In white gown, a comet with hopeful eyes towards the land floats..
On the throne of gold with flower of rose, Angels on the earth welcomes comet with the hand close,
People all around with the band of drum, Dancing and singing and enjoying comet's welcome..
With the beautiful smile comet occupied on throne,
Hearing everyone's chaos like all the ones are it's known,
A couple with the teary eyes raised the voice, Of having the gift of blessing of their choice, Demanding the greatest of all from the comet,
Its of girl child... making the urge of blessing to get,
Hearing this prayer comet blessed them with that,
Showers the words on the girl of her all wishes to fulfill yet,
Having blessed with the beautiful gift of love, The couple find happiness in the child all up above..
Suddenly a voice heard up
Oh!! you're going to be late
wake up wake up,
A noise from beside my bed raised up..
I open my eyes with the
smiling face of shy
Oh!! It was the dream which
give my day a beautiful hey..
Seeing me happy make my sisters spy,
Asking me a question of
beautiful dream of mine..
It was you I grasp with hopeful eyes..
A beautiful gift and biggest
blessing of my life..
I whispered to her about being her special,
As she was my prayer of
a gifted sister with hair's curl,
Though it was the dream but far away..
It is true that my sister
is really a blessing All the way....
