poetry self publish project

2. • Of curse, the
easiest way is to
post the poem on
social medias.
Facebook,
Wechat, Tweeter,
Blog…etc.

3. • I decided to make little cards and book marks
and write my poem on the back and give them
out to people. I made all the cards by hand one
by one.

4. • I spent about an hour a day drawing and it
took me a week to make a hundred cards

5. • My poem is about life, so I drew trees, seed,
Dandelion and clover on the cards.

6. • The first thing I thought
of was that we always
realize how important
health and life is when
we get sick so people
would reflect on this
poem.
• I decided to ask the
clinic if I can leave some
cards there for people
to take if they like it.

7. • They agreed to let me leave the
cards and a note at the front desk.

8. • Then I went to the Vancouver Public Library at
West Point Grey. I think, people who like to
read will be more possible to enjoy poetry.
• I asked them if I can leave some book marks for
people to take and they were very glad to
agree.
• The only problem is that it is not allowed to
take pictures inside the library, so I only have a
picture right out side.

9. • There is going to be a Birthday
party at old barn which
celebrates the kids’ Birthday
in June. I gave some of the
cards to the old barn as gifts
for people’s birthday, because
the content of the poem
related to birth.

10. • I’ve met a young lady at the art studio, when I was
volunteering during the summer. She has a bakery a
sells cakes, so I asked her to give out the cards to pe
who buy cakes from her as a gift.

11. • I think it would be romantic, to
receive a little card with a poem in
a coffee house (and think about
life). So I asked the Starbucks to
leave the cards on the counter for
people to take.

12. • I put the cards on the counter where people
usually wait for coffee and wrote a note saying
take on if you like.

13. • Talking about Romantic, I
think it would be great to
find a drifting bottle with a
poem at the beautiful
beach.

14. • Considering that
plastic bottles are not
good for the
environment I
decided to us glass
bottles. I prepared
two bottles and put
one poem in each.
Made sure that it is
tight…

15. • And threw it into the sea...

16. • Watched it drifting away…
Well, because the rising tide, the bottle drifted back to
the shore only about twenty meters away from me.

17. • The good thing
is I got to know
who found
them.
• They were
happy to find
the bottles and
they wanted to
throw them
back to the sea
to pass them
on to others.

18. • While publishing my poem, I stepped out
of my comfort zone and have learned a lot.
