--Fighting the establishment with creativity and thoughtful language


#PoemSec is a tweetstorm where poets prepare their poems to be shared via 
twitter to everyone watching.  

Our written works will likely be long, so we'll need to employ an easy to use 
paste service, such as pastebin.com or gist.github.com to upload the text of 
our poems.  Once we have our artistic creations uploaded, we'll be able to link 
to them in a tweet containing the hashtag #PoemSec.  

#Poemsec will officially begin (around noon) on Saturday, Dec. 27th and last 
INDEFINATELY!  If you're feeling so inclined, don't hesitate to upload a 
reading of your work under the tweetstrom.  All presentations of poetic works 
will be appreciated this coming Saturday.

3)  Write a summary or have a friend assist you by writing a summary for your 
poem which explains its meaning.  Perhaps your summary will simply frame for 
your audience what your work is about.
