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

And the horrors were turning real

It was all feeling so unreal.

 

 The cases increasing

  Beds and oxygen level decreasing

 

Cries of children,

were heard by none.

 

Losses of loved ones

became common for everyone

 

When corspe was to be burned

It was not my beloved i learned

 

Vaccination is still pending

Situation will be changing.

 

Everyone is petrified.

But we are unified.

Thank you for submitting this very timely poem for consideration for Featured Poem of the Month for June.  You have captured the sense of sadness and fear that seems to have gripped us all during these very trying days.  Good for you to put words to your thoughts and turn them into a meaningful and touching poem.  - Susan
