One was simply a greeting, the rest real efforts. this was a great exercise, and I typed up my poems AFTER composing them on cards, so I have a bit of a record of what I sent out. When winter settles in I may go through the list and do more. This was a great exercise. Thanks for dreaming it up!patricia frisellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18323606988731623774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180856255590812139.post-42729676317222872792009-09-14T15:36:16.024-07:002009-09-14T15:36:16.024-07:00I mailed all of mine diligently, and received 13. ...I mailed all of mine diligently, and received 13. Today a straggler arrived in the mail! It was fun, and I uploaded pictures of some of my postcards to my Facebook page for friends and family to see what I was doing. The project has also become part of a local dance studio newsletter, my instructor thought it was a fascinating idea. I hope to do this again next year, I had a blast!Poet Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105553133665280701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180856255590812139.post-47122504959908015122009-09-09T11:24:07.016-07:002009-09-09T11:24:07.016-07:00I received about 15-16 cards, also.

I feel like I made good use of my August when I might not have been writing at all.<br /><br />jillypoet.wordpress.comjillypoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951224240914478371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180856255590812139.post-46943564549891589542009-09-07T17:06:29.425-07:002009-09-07T17:06:29.425-07:00I have just found out about this.

To receive a beautiful card in the mail uplifts ones spirit, especially these days when so few people mail cards. Especially handwritten and addressed cards/letters/poems. I hope I remember this next year, that is if you do it again.Tammie Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09018402134070834516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180856255590812139.post-18682068788098575402009-09-07T16:44:40.326-07:002009-09-07T16:44:40.326-07:00I confess I'm one of those who usually printed...I confess I'm one of those who usually printed out the words of my daily poems, which would have otherwise been unreadable unless I wrote 6 word poems I could print big. One thing I did this year was Google my recipients and sometimes found inspiration there, writing a poem to them in particular, possibly in response to one of their poems online. That did be fun! ( Ignatow) I also got on a roll with a topic that stretched itself across more than one postcard and a couple of times liked something enough to send it to more than one person. Never have been the best rule follower in the world, although I tried to stick with the spirit of it all and write something in the moment, every day. I received 16 postcards altogether and sent 31. Am curious to know if that's typical? Wonder what will happen to this project w/o Saturday delivery. As it was I mailed two on Mondays. Guess I'll have to mail three next time . . . or four . . . or . . .Diane Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12439835145193991132noreply@blogger.com
