My favorite of the official National Poetry Month posters (though this poem reminds me of high school chemistry class, the teacher was a frustrated poet, I think, better that than a self-identified Prufrock) As usual, pictures are links to their sources.

A favorite bit of Tolkien, via Pinterest (I want this luggage tag. A lot.)
Couldn't resist including the make-your-own magnetic poetry necklace--some of several styles and options, including earrings. I'm not sure whether this is weird or hilarious or brilliant. Maybe that means I've worked at an art museum too long? Available on Etsy from VitalMadness
