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
We gonna fight
To make it right
It's never been
And it's never gona right
Until we start from tonight
We gonna fight
To make it right.
Everyone is up to display their might
Rout others and insure their rise
High and high to pluck the prize
Sense of belongingness never in their sight
Just few came to hold me tight
Made me believe everything wanna be right
We gonna fight
To make it right.
It's hard to believe that humanity is still alive
Support and care can be a choice
At the same time we can be crazy and nice
Believing not everyone will turn like a dice
In this world full of lions we can be little mice
Infact it's better to live happily then to roar with pride
We wanna fight
To make it right
Our growth may be slow
Today, we might be considered as level of low
Slow; but one day we will glow
For those prizeholders it will be a blow
There intentions were not enough to stop our flow ...
