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.

San Francisco

Blanketed in a still grey fog,
rolling hills of ghosts,
Wrap around orange towers,
the great Golden Gate.

Rolling hills of ghosts,
Pass through our bodies.
The great Golden Gate,
Steals tourists' attention.

Pass through our bodies,
Never ending fog also,
Steals tourists attention,
coldness creeping on.

Never ending fog,
Let up your wrath.
Coldness creeping on,
The lights come out now.

Let up your wrath,
lay your blanket low.
The light come out now,
Building tops poke the sky.

Lay your blanket low,
So clouds may rest on water.
Building tops poker the sky,
Nighttime remedies.

    Michael! Gotta label your posts so people can find them. Do it when posting in the box below the text. Start typing your name and it'll come up. Separate labels by commas. Thanks, Tony
