We listened to the silent collapse
Of our ice cubes as we sat in the sun,
And in the heat we lowered our caps.
We listened to the silent collapse
Of the bones and organs in our laps,
And with sad envy we watched the children run.
We listened to the silent collapse
Of our ice cubes in the sun.
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.

Sea Dance-Celina
Sea Dance
The sky’s a salmon slice that seeps to blue
And we are artists laughing bare-foot-drunk
A sympathetic cloak of ocean grew
They sky’s a salmon slice that seeps to blue
Our toes were kin in spilling painter’s brew
The more the canvas spoke the more we sunk
The sky’s a salmon slice that seeps to blue
And we are artists laughing bare-foot-drunk
The sky’s a salmon slice that seeps to blue
And we are artists laughing bare-foot-drunk
A sympathetic cloak of ocean grew
They sky’s a salmon slice that seeps to blue
Our toes were kin in spilling painter’s brew
The more the canvas spoke the more we sunk
The sky’s a salmon slice that seeps to blue
And we are artists laughing bare-foot-drunk

A Hit
I take a hit and hold it in
and reminisce on times we had.
Smoke and smoke I'm high again,
I take a hit and hold it in.
Inhale exhale, my high begins.
Give me love don't make me sad.
I take a hit and hold it in,
and reminisce on times we had.
and reminisce on times we had.
Smoke and smoke I'm high again,
I take a hit and hold it in.
Inhale exhale, my high begins.
Give me love don't make me sad.
I take a hit and hold it in,
and reminisce on times we had.
