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 to crawl? (1 reply)

You are born with the wings,
Then why to Crawl?
In order to rise,
You must have to fall.
Go beyond all your limits,
And break every wall.
You are born with the wings,
Then why to Crawl?

Many thanks for submitting your poem for consideration for next week's Featured Poem of the Week.  I like the way you have contained your message in just these very few lines.  I like the way your poem begins and I like how you take it simply, clearly to a place where wings, rising above, is the answer.  I respect that English may not be your first language and so there are some moments when the poem strays because of language, but it is beautifully conceived and I truly applaud you for a job well done.  Have a very creative day, Susan
