1 in 5 teenagers will experiment with poetry

A few months ago I was obviously quite bored as I decided to make a silly little image about the potentially-harmful effects of writing poetry. It can destroy families. It's apparently become the most popular thing I'm ever likely to write in my life, with around 1000 people "sharing" it in the last 2 days alone. If only my poetry had such an audience! Well here it is anyway, if you're not on the BaceFook time-leech

    So cool that you've created something that is making it's way around the globe and the blogosphere. Happy to have helped move this along and intend to share it with my college students next month. All best from Susan at http://thealchemistskitchen.blogspot.com

    I would LOVE to have a hard copy of this for my office door at SUNY (State University of New York). Is it possible to actually get this from you (purchased of course!) in hard copy, poster size? English professors and high school teachers would love this in their classrooms or offices. ~Heidi Nightengale, 140 Cottage Street, Auburn, NY 13201 USA

    Hi there. Unfortunately I don't own the photos on the image so I can't really sell it, and I didn't really make a HD version that would scale up well. Feel free to copy it and print it from this blog though, if you can get it to look okay. Thanks for visiting!

    Interesting, but doesn't seem very original to me. Here is a link to a company that actually created these ads for an art school. Nice try though. http://teamdetroit.com/projects/ccs.php

    Hi David, I think this is a common theme/idea? I'd seen others. I just made a version about poetry since folks I know are into that. Cheers

    Dear Russell, I gather that you are okay with folks sharing your witty set of photos presenting the warning signs of ... POETRY. May I use it with my students? I teach in the English Dept. at Baylor University. Tom Hanks (Baylor edition)
