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

Why I love to write? (1 reply)

I love to write cause

I need to express what I feel deep inside my lonely heart

The thoughts that I need to express, 

That filled up my mind with chaosness

Tears running down my cheeks 

And slightly touching my writing sheet

I wonder, why I smile even I cry ?

I realised ,

Yes ! I am a logophile 

And gave me the perfect reason 

" Why I love to write !"

I think you have touched on the reason so many of us write poetry, "I need to express what I feel deep inside my lonely heart..."  There is so much emotion and honesty in your poem and a real sense of you speaking your truth.  I thank you so much for sharing and hope your poetry is always a part of you, always offering you a way to deal with your emotions, as it has been for me, my whole life.  You friend in poetry,

Susan
