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 thoughts of books!
I am an unspoken spirit,
Communicating with the world,
In Striving words with thrashing crowd!
Oh folks, I am not for memorising,
To make you spend an hour,
In argle bargle like an war!
My worth comes like a spring,
When you relinquish my soul without flings!
Plain white as I am,
With some emotions to wear,
That swirls on me in the expedition!
Acquired with nonstop flight of words,
Purely of love and ponders,
Waltzing in awakening wonders!
Think for yourself once,
About the fruitful discussion in tons,
That you make with me in minds,
A voyage to the unknown facts, folks!
