On what our dad calls being “a girl in comfortable shoes”
[another response to Sister]
I am the bastard child of the second wave
And the hidden heart of the third,
I wish you would be too.
I stopped wearing bras when I realized
I couldn’t find an A without padding
I don’t have that problem anymore
On my first ever date we watched a movie
And I insisted on paying for the ice cream
I was the girl with all the boy friends
But never a boyfriend
Since then there have been six
But only one or two have mattered
Sorry
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.
