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.

Universal brotherhood. (1 reply)

The one who wanted to attain supremacy ;

The one who wanted revenge ;

The one who bled for their family ;

The one who took their first step ;

The one who are on their death bed ;

The one who started a war and the one who will end it ;

Are now United together in this strange catastrophe and shall attain universal brotherhood.

Thank you for submitting your poem for consideration for Featured Poem of the Week.  There is power in the simplicity of this poem - the repetition - the joining together of all those "who wanted- who bled - who took - who are on their death bed - who started a war" and giving them a sort of equality.  The truth of tragedy - it brings us all to our knees and unites us.  Well done.  Wishing you a very creative and happy day, Susan
