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

No use of regret when everything scatters...

Just remember one thing your every move matters.

Interesting and intriguing little poem - thank you so much for sharing.  While I have, on occasion, railed against rhyme - I think it works here.  I might, if I were you, delete the punctuation and just let the words run together.  I think it would work - kind of a "thought" that forms in the mind.  We don't punctuate those.  I will definitely be considering your poem as one of the ones I will be featuring in the next week or two, on my Instagram page.  I invite you to think about the punctuation and let me know.  Either way, I will consider it, as mentioned before.  Your friend in poetry, Susan
