Week 2

Continuing with the theme of the second assignment (late though it may be).... I had less trouble with this assignment than the first. I also chose to submit two poems rather than one very long one but I find it easier to write longer poems than two or three liners. Of course, last week's assignment did inspire me to write a few haiku (of course I didn't submit them). Back to the second assignment, I was inspired here to continue writing a poem that I had started in high school. I wrote one stanza and was told by my classmates that I should extend the poem as it did not sound finished. Two years ago I added a stanza on a random night (probably while I should have been packing up to move out for the semester). Then, I added a third and final stanza for this class. I am still not sure it is finished or if I have 'ruined' the poem by attempting to edit it on multi-year basis. Which is why I have chosen to submit it--maybe I will finally be able to finish it instead of waiting two more years :-)


On a completely different note, does anyone else have issues with posting blogs and comments? I can usually do a new post properly but I cannot submit comments from my computer...anyone know if that is a flashplayer/archaic laptop issue or just something I am doing wrong?
