Poetry into greeting cards	I created a poem a while back called a gift of Friendship and I made it into an ecard or a digital greet-card. My question is that is there a market for cards. Here's the poem I made (Gift Of Friendship). Friendship is a gift. You showed me what a friend is; You support, encourage and uplift. I don't take for granted the bond we share It's by grace that we pair You show me that someone really do care.

Have you thought about making chapbooks	Selling poetry is indeed difficult and the market for poetry has historically been small to non-existent but self-publishing made it easy for poets to publish without any money, but with self-publish you still need money to buy your your books from (amazon or Lulu). Chapbooks seem to be the most practical way poets can create and sell their work for a low cost. Chapbooks are most effective at poetry readings, open-mics or Slams. What do you guys think?

A poem titled Down To Earth	My legacy as a person is I want people to say I was real down to earth. A rare breed, a true one of a kind. I want to be the exception to humanity The opposite of ego and vanity I want to be that person who you feel at ease with. I want my character traits to resemble Christ: Someone who was kind, loyal, trustworthy, disciplined, respectful, humble, and honest. The person you can sit and vent to, the person who will give you money when you're in need, a person who will go out of his way to make sure you are ok. That's the kind of person I want to be remembered for.
