Hi everyone. Thanks for all your Babelfish poems and other stuff; if we have time next week we'll look at some of them in class. If you are among the few who have not posted anything, please don't keep us in suspense. For this week, as I mentioned in class, here's your informal assignment: try writing a poem in text message form. Your poem should be a description of something in nature, not unlike a haiku. It should be whatever length your phone will allow, but no longer than 160 characters (which is what my phone will allow), and you should feel free to use abbreviations and symbols as much as you like, in order to squeeze more words into the space. You can even make up a few abbreviations if you want. Be inventive. Send you poem to me at 917*353*2769 and/or you can post it on the blog.
