"SPELLING"
Margaret Atwood wrote the poem "Spelling," which is probably found in multiple publications.  I will site it just from poemhunter.com which is owned by poemhunter.  There is no specific publisher that I am aware of, and I do not know the date of its publication or when it was uploaded to poemhunter.com.  I accessed the poem most recently on May 27, 2015.  The URL is http://www.poemhunter.com/search?q=spelling+atwood.

To cite this poem, follow these steps: (Use periods after each unit of information.)
Author's name / Name of "Poem" / Name of site / Name of company that owns or runs the site / Publisher comma and date of publication / Method of publication (Web) / Date of access / <URL> Do not have any spaces in the URL.  Remove the hyperlink.  Divide after any slash.
