Blog post 1: Explore poetry websites

Delve into the world of contemporary poetry by exploring one of the following websites to prepare to write your first blog post:

• http://www.poetryinternationalweb.net/pi/site/home/index/en
• http://www.poets.org/
• http://www.loc.gov/poetry/180/p180-list.html
• http://www.poetryfoundation.org/

Identify a poem that speaks to you from one of these websites.  Copy the poem to your blog post (citing it accordingly).  Does the poem reflect the author’s cultural perspective or is it more universal in theme?  Explain why you chose to read and comment on this poem?
