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

Year of realizations 2020 - Wen the world stopped! (1 reply)

Year of realizations 2020 - Wen the world stopped!

World took a break, that made humans shake

A virus from china proved no one is tiny

stop being whiny

Don't be snobby bcoz scientists are still working in lobbies,

Businesses were shut that made them bankrupt,

Each day number increased and loved ones were decreased

Lockdown gave us time to make things fine,

Bought people back to their lands

so that they can understand

2020 made us realise, to be wise

Time is short so stop being a bot

Don't be after money& stop being runny

Spend time with family & mates

Before it's gets too late

Instead of performing mime

Ask everyone if they are fine!

Treasure time with love ones in leisure

with pleasure,

Before you are sorry & it becomes a memory!
