Evidence of publication

In the first video, I am taping my poem to a pole at the rose gardens. I walked there with Mai, and we decided it is a good place to put my poem for people to see as they are wandering the rose gardens.

In the second video, I am taping my poem to a bench at the Allison road bus stop. People often sit down there, and the wall behind the bench is pretty empty, so i thought it would stand out and people would read it while waiting for their bus.

In the photo, I am taping my poem to the inside of the bus. People who are sitting in the handicapped seats at the front will all have the chance to read it while they are sitting on the bus.

In the video of us at the Cambie skytrain station, I am taping my poem to the wall of the area where people wait for the train to come. People's eyes will wander when waiting for the train, and some may stumble upon my poem.

In the next video, I am taping my poem to a pole at Granville island. There is a bench right behind the pole, so when people stop to rest they can easily read my poem. I also read my poem out at Granville island, but we had some technical difficulties and i Don't have evidence of this.

Finally, in the final video I am reading my poem out to a group of strangers on the beach. They said they really enjoyed it and that they are going to become teachers soon. They even said they would be happy to have me as their student. This was my favorite part of the project, seeing how my poem has positively affected others.

Poetry assignment



The Bringer of Hope


You are the sun that lights up the darkest of night. Who's rays bring hope to those feeling down, and lead them along a never-ending road. 

When suddenly the sun sits down to rest below the Earth, the darkness grows stronger, but your fears mustn't do the same. For it encourages your peers to likewise discard the devils dwelling in their thoughts.

You are the rain that falls in springtime, bringing the world into full bloom. Each flower petal dancing with joy as your droplets land on them. And like a rainbow far off in the sky, you bring us hope.
