PERMISSIONS: To view the blog, post on it, and comment on posts, you must be invited. I will send you an email invitation to join the blog, and then you must follow the instructions to join up and begin posting. You can't join the blog without first creating a Google account.

POSTING: Post your poems by clicking "New Post" at the top right of the page. Paste your poem into the window.

LABELING: Then label the post with the assignment name (i.e., "confessional poem," "sonnet," etc.), your name (i.e., "Tony Barnstone," etc.), and the week (i.e., "week one," "week two," but not "week 1"--spell out your numbers). If you post a poem in week two that is due in week three, label it "week three." When you begin to type in a label, the program will fill it in for you, so your post will be labeled with the rest of the poems in the same category.

COMMENTING: Afterwards, you can "comment" on the posts of your classmates. Post "group one" and "group two" one-page critical responses as "comments" on the posted poems, but also print out copies for me and for the poet and give them to us in class.

Nightmare

Black silk sheets lay over my memory
Diamond dust sprinkled over my young dreams
Loose vivid images hidden as a fable
Evil seeps through the cracks of my wooden floors
A cold presence stretches hair on my skin
A glowing light sketches a male figure
His molded musk climbs into my nostrils
Vile from my core peels the paint off the walls
I lie there chained to my white pillow
Sinking deeper into my sailing dream
