This is a poem I wrote for my nephew a few months ago, and I finally got around to posting a recording of it. I’m learning to play with sound and tone in my poems, so I’d love your feedback/comments as to what you thought was good or could be done better.
Thanks for watching.
When I was in fifth grade, I tried to make all my valentine cards by hand. No bueno. This was before the color copies (wether it was or not I have no actual idea, but I know for sure that 10 year old Bekah had never heard of one). 40 Valentine Cards by hand is asking too much.
But I’m happy announce that roughly 15 years later, I finally did it. I made my only Valentines Cards (shout out to Office Max for your overpriced color copies). I’m a Pre-K teacher, so yes, I still celebrate Valentines Day (and Groundhog day, and any Holiday that I can decorate for).
I drew and watercolored this little guy originally, then scanned him into my computer for some more editing. I’m really happy with the whole process. Card-making might just become my next venture. Who knows?
