What's the deal? Are poems posted on a blog or writing blog considered 'published' or not?

If anyone has five verbs and five nouns they could throw at me, I would have much gratitude.

Lately I've been reading more of the poetic theory blogs than usual and have come to a conclusion of sorts--
SF: Poets should write whatever they are compelled to write.
Reader: No she didn't!

Oh, my. After writing those down, I feel the urge to compose a poem.
Are you familiar with Rita Dove's word spill exercise?
Verbing the noun: love, move, dove, shove, mash.
Nouning the verb: star, rat, spin, table, cash.
Poems posted on a blog: not sure. That's mostly why I only show excerpts.
Suzanne: for me the poems I post on my blog are usually just drafts or exercises or works-in-progress, unless otherwise indicated. I don't think of them as "published" at all. Not that that it is necessarily the be-all and end-all of anything.
Yummmm. These are great, thanks, everyone. :-)
Peter & Ivy and all the other bloggers posting their drafts, you're brave, I admire that---me I'm sorta chicken about that stuff. ;-)
Nouns: candle, bird. glass, cup, wine.
Verbs: fly, walk, sing, shine, deliver.
Pretty much anything in my blog is posted without the slightest expectation of being published. It just makes it easier.
