Poetry Friday

And now for something different…

In place of my usual format of a poem for my Poetry Friday slot, I am changing things slightly this week. I  came across a blog post yesterday on Emerging Writer, highlighting International Put a Poem in a Shop Month. The inspiration behind this is explained on another blog, Various who writes that “December is possibly the most hassly month of the year in terms of time spent in shops, queuing in said shops, and the amount of money handed over in said shops, making it overall a kind of stressful experience, thought it would be nice to have a little pressie for shop goers, and reason to make your own visit to the shop more artistically satisfying not to mention more exciting.”

I love this idea, don’t you? It is so quirky and different.  Check out more online through either of the aforementioned blogs.
