Writer's blogs
I had much more luck with "writer's blog" searches
than with "creative blog" searches.
I found a great site that bills itself as a "weblog for writers."
Inkygirl.com has a cute design, and a link to
Bramblestory.com, which is all about interactive
writing. You can add to current story lines, and it has a red
pepper icon that tells you what storylines are "hot" right now!
Inkygirl also had a section for "Telecommuting Writing Jobs."
There was a listing for a job in NY as a freelance writer to write short
blurbs for various websites on different subjects...interesting!

Imitation Poetry of poems by Anne Carson
Town of Boredom
See them.
All racing to unimportant places.
For no good reason.
Cars like fighting bugs.
Forgetting the destination.
Do you see them?
Cold, wooden wind-up toys.
That never stop.
Fear Town
Ice melting on my shoes.
Were making squeaks like children.
Running past my black window.
Closed to shut out the Monday.

New Media Poetry
Under the "Burning Press" link, I checked out the Cleveland Leaves Chapbook Series.
I read "Torture Chamber", because I was intrigued by the title.
I would recommend this poem, because it is really interesting to read.
Using mis-spellings and wordsruntogether, it gives it a unique twist.
I loved the line "Glade Fresh Rooms", and the ending line where is says:
"AAAAAAAH"
Very humorous.
Still, I would have changed some of the mis-spellings and run together words.
It seemed like a little much.
Under "An Index to Concrete Poetry", I followed the Title Index to Concrete-Visual Poetry, and
under Biography of Concrete and Visual Poetry I clicked on the letter "H" and found "Haiku Poet's Hut."
This was very enjoyable to view. I liked the "fading" into each page when you get to the site. A neat effect.
I viewed "Haibun & Essays: On haiku, the moon & a visit." Very sweet- nice to see a simple picture with a haiku. The site also has a "Visual Haiku Index" where you view photos and submit your own haiku's about them. Nice idea.
Some of the other links I followed seemed to be too time-consuming or boring, but these were worth checking out.
