I love your ideas for taking this even further.<BR/><BR/>I'm also curious about the fete idea. We have fairs here from time to time and I've considered having a booth to showcase my writing business. Perhaps we could also prewrite poems for various occasions and sell them as cards, framed, etc. Families love poems that include their children's names and these could be prewritten for the most popular names too.<BR/><BR/>If you're really industrious, you could take a laptop and printer and create and print poetry on the spot for interested customers.<BR/><BR/>There is definitely a spark of interest in me about this. I'll have to explore it further.<BR/><BR/>Another idea is that these kinds of prewritten and stylishly presented poems could be sold online. Cafepress and Lulu offer to print onto products which could create an little extra cash for any enthusiastic linguist.<BR/><BR/>Also, if you're practiced at these kinds of poems you might consider getting into the greeting card industry.Rebecca Laffar-Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085299881243825229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992744093231855633.post-63229697506111561432008-04-10T18:47:00.000-07:002008-04-10T18:47:00.000-07:00That doll idea is so sweet.

Poor girl had to fit my angst into her music. <BR/><BR/>But I haven't written a poem in years...I think I may give it a go again. Thanks for the inspiration.Kappa no Hehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909580462578058631noreply@blogger.com
