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
A simple curve
Upwards like the Sun, my Sun, brightening up the heavens and everything in its wake
Downwards like the clouds, rain clouds, claiming the sky in scattered patches of grey
An artist's love
Skybound like a mountain, the tallest mountain, inviting all the hikers to try and stake claim
All around like a river, the purest river, not sure if to swim or stand guard so it always stays the same
A rainy night
Impactful like a blessing, the nature's blessing, can't help but stare with mouth agape
Scornful like a storm, the darkest storm, bound to devastate all witnesses of its distorted shape
A lost fight
Inevitable like love, falling in love, I tried to resist but I wasn't strong enough perhaps
Soft as pair of lips, her lips, I've never been one for nature but she makes me an enthusiast
