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
Loving you was never a mistake
but loving the traitor in you was my mistake.
Not knowing you wasn't my fault
But not knowing the traitor in you was my fault.
Being alone and searching for
the real mate and the real love isn't wrong,
but being with you and believing
in your fake love can never be right .
You're the lyrics which I'm supposed to learn
but should never sing loud .
You're the novel which I should understand
but should never like the contents.
You are the person
who always set in my heart ,
but your dishonesty paved the way
to the darkest boundaries of my heart !
Oh love,
You would never know about the aching soul of mine
which longs for your love and honesty
but shattered into pieces long ago
for your unique and sensual betrail.
But still in the hope of getting you one day
in the way it had wished for !
