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
This world is like the roses red
So beautiful indeed !
Yet the thorns thy pricked our soul
Won't suffocate but lead.
Lessons have been hard to learn
But those who don't they bleed
Life is like a movie that teach us all to breathe.
This world is like the roses red
So wonderful indeed !
Yet it's hard to realize
When greed has tipped us each.
Stories have a moral end
But those who don't, agreed
They still teach us to differentiate and finally proceed.
This world is like the roses red
So mysterious indeed!
Yet the fact that truth's bitter
We prefer what is sweet.
Lies never walk along
But betray, believe
Though hard still it's good for us, never learn to cheat.
