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 shadow of love......
I have met the shadow of love
That gives me homey like contentment
It isn't black, it's red in colour
I have traversed round the world
The shadow doesn't leave me alone
Sometimes it follows me
While sometimes it resides within me
When I met you it became ours
It travelled with us without
Considering us apart
But when you left me alone
It turned black in colour
Unlike you it's with me always
Now with it's claws it has
Teared my heart apart
Which bleeds our's love
And the shadow has left too
The heart now remains empty
Searching for the new
Shadow of love.....................
