It Is Unwise To Mock The Poet

My informal survey of existing poetry-related t-shirts indicates that at least half of them are about Poe and/or his Raven. In keeping with that figure, half of the below shirts are Ravenesque.

Housekeeper Needed
HOUSEKEEPER NEEDED to clean the pallid bust of Pallas above my chamber door. Lenores preferred. Must like birds. Send a message in a bottle to E.A. Poe.


Unwise
Geek Love Poem

Writer's Block

For poor, for poorer...
Poetic License

Another Poe t-shirt

POEM = Professional Organization of English Majors shirt

Iambic pentameter shirt

    poetry & t-shirts. they're like chocolate and, uh, whatever you like to go with chocolate.

    also, must say, i'm always happy to see sneak appearances by vonnegut.

    I'm sorry it took me so long to stumble upon this! Thanks so much, Tabatha, for including my little "Poetic License" broadside in this post! We are honored :)
