Well, frankly, if I were you, I would read the documentation again. It doesn't seem like you know what a polymorphic association is. You described a standard has_many relationship.
Polymorphic association is when one model belongs to several different models. For example, to use the Rails casts episode, a comment can belong to a Photo, a Post, or a Product.
From what you have written so far, it seems like you want a standard has_many and belongs_to association.
User has_many :posts will let you do @user.posts, and a Post belongs_to :user will let you do post.user. If you want customize the name of the association, as in post.author, then I think you need to use the :class_name
