Poem: Quick Note to Eve

Quick Note to Eve

Word and image by Alexander C. Kafka
QuailBellMagazine.com

First off, don't believe everything you read.
The rib thing? Adam's made from yours.
It was an experiment--I wanted to see
how you looked with an elongated abdomen.
It was silly of me. Proportions were odd--
you were perfect to begin with. So I put the rib back.
But by then, well, there he was, the shlub.

Blameshifter, gossiper, egotist--
he was a big mistake and he’s
got a big mouth. Humor him
if you can; give him something to do.
He seems to like busyness.

The apple? Not a problem. It's just fruit.
Pairs well with serpent meat.
Working on something called
--get this--
a pomegranate. It’s weird. Stains
too, but I can’t stop thinking about it.

Progeny would be good.
If not, no worries--
we'll figure out something else.
I've been toying with an idea,
evolution--
could really mess with people's heads--
not sure it'll fly.

Well, got a meeting, but--
and keep this to yourself, please--
you’re my favorite.

xoxo
G.

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.

Blog Automation Setup
