To share my poem with other people, I tried two different methods.
For the first method, I made a poster and encouraged readers to put on stickers to signify that they've read my poem.
I decided to make my way to Kerrisdale to display "Midnight Thoughts".
Along the way, I met my first reader.
In Kerrisdale:
What I found was that almost all of the people who bothered to stop by and read were old women. Young people just walked past without a glance, and old men looked for a little bit and walked past.
Going back home. I didn't get the views that I wanted and resorted to asking others passengers in the bus to read and put stickers.
After Kerrisdale, I asked the manager at my apartment building for permission to display my poster on the resident's message board for 3 days.
Other places I tried:
1. Oakridge mall - the security told me that I was not allowed to display anything in the mall and forced me to take it down..
2. Vancouver Public Library - The manager was not available, and there were security issues with taking pictures.
For the second method, I created a simple, silent video using pictures that I drew and putting captions. Enjoy.
