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 write (1 reply)

I love writing

Like love is beyond explanation

It just happens

And when it does,

Everything turns out to be magical

Same is the case with writing

I love to write

Not to impress anyone

But to improve myself with time.

I only give (write)

Without a thought of receiving anything in return.

Thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts about writing in the form of this very emotional and introspective poem.  Poets, I think, give themselves something just by writing, by exposing themselves and their feelings through the art of poetry.  I am so pleased you find so much joy in writing.  I do too!  - Susan
