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
The dark thick canopy
Covers this white sky
Leaving nothing, but little
Traces of silver clouds above.
Somewhere deep rises a dark fog,
mysterious and enchanting, twinkling
Like little stars on a cloudless night sky.
It’s magical touch, made
The little hot stones
To gush from my eyes, like an
Unbidden guest, rolling on my face.
Like two big hands, fog scooping me
to an unknown destiny,
Foreign to eyes,
Yet domestic to heart, like
an invisible string of a kite.
And I know then that,
Its where I belong to,
My secret garden, blooming with love
From the creator, the universe.
