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

What is in your eyes.. 

I really can't understand what keeps me enticed. 

But it has something that pierced my heart and soul...

Thank you for submitting your poem.  I like the tone of your poem and the suggestiveness of it.  Grammatically, I believe, in the last line "is" would work better than "has."  You have a good sense of the rhythm of poetry and the need for emotional commitment to your words and thoughts.  I would be happy to consider your poem, after editing, to be featured on my Instagram page.  Your friend in poetry, Susan
