Notes

Affordances of the Web
- I began to learn CSS to get animated poetry out of my head.
- I like audio and mixing in images
- I've written poetry for a long time, and have wanted to make them art pieces for awhile now, especially in multimedia contexts — hibs
Poetry and Mark Up
- Microformats, Feeds, and and Poetry
  - respect my space
  - your HTMNL sanitizer is killing me
  - multiple authors
  - full or excerpt
  - can I code in an always allow autoplay feature or ask?
  - A Post with another poem and comments probably an h-cite
  - but if I do an excerpt versus a full poem
  - I use multiple artifacts sometimes 20-30 each with a CC license
- itles and Notes and Articles

- Use images. Take the same image and write two poems with two different moods. Play with connotation and figurative language
- Use passion. Write about what you love or hate
- Write what youy see. Literal observationsa. Go outside. look at sky. Write a poem
