POEM OF THE DAY

submitted by: Joshua McDonald

My girlfriend goes to school during the day and works in the evenings. Every day that she works, I call into her computer voicemail system (which records voice too), and read a poem onto her voicemail while playing romantic music in the background. Sometimes they are poems I have written and sometimes poems that others have written.

On special days to us, I play a particular song that means a lot to us. I have just completed a 3 month poem campaign and will be presenting her with every poem I did on audiotape along with a homemade booklet of each poem printed onto a unique, colorful letterhead from Kinkos (cost 20 cents per page). She has loved this and says she always has the poem to look forward to, especially when she has had a bad day at college.
