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
I am a part of that choice of action .
While you choose the Nation
I too stood by your decision
You said "Duty Call"
I said " My toughest Wall"
You made the choice
I kept the voice!
We are together
You put the Nation first .
I put your choice first .
It's the Choice I made because even I am a warrior .
You fight the frontline .
I fight the fear of losing the universe I created for my bubble family.
We are in this together .
Go fight for what you are entitled to do .
I will do mine .
I will weigh myself till your return if the destiny wants to .
You dedicate your service .
I deal with this insecurity
I know I can get over it .
It's my choice and I am proud of it
