I want you to enter the Poetry Santa Cruz contest; however, I can't enter it (students only). If you want to try your hand at an email submission contest today, compete with me in the Red Wheelbarrow De Anza publication. You'll be competing as an adult (yes, some of you can...yes, that means you Nikki and Sydney and Jason), so don't let on you're in high school when you write your two or three sentence biography.

HW: Work on your CWP
A Post Script Just for Fun:
The message in a bottle motif is still alive and well. The Police popularized it in 1979; it is said to be Sting's favorite song and one of his most covered.
Old School Improptu: He is said to have been visiting the concert and was then asked to play

But Poe's is quite another story (see the Poe post for the story link). I hope you enjoy it!
