As I was re-reading poetry and browsing [livejournal.com profile] posticonic (BEAUTIFUL ICONS. *pimpage*), I came to the conclusion that the most perfect combination in the world is [livejournal.com profile] deutscheami's bases and... well, a lot of different poems, it turns out. So I spent an hour this afternoon putting the two together with varying degrees of success, and here are some of the better ones.

ALL OF THE BASES UNDER THE CUT ARE FROM [livejournal.com profile] posticonic. PLEASE CREDIT THERE. Other credit, as usual, is lovely but optional; commenting is even better.

*happy* So glad you like them! Worse, I may not even be done. >.> I want to find a good one for the girl with the blood on her hands. *hums* We'll see what [livejournal.com profile] greatpoets yields, anyway.

*grins* Lauris Edmond can make a lot of people cool by association. I've yet to find a good icon use for Cilla McQueen and Jenny Bornhaldt, unfortunately...

You read your Emily Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost...


Mm, Emily.

I can read, like, none of those. Is my monitor too crappy? Or are my eyes dying?

pst, got some poems for my uni course. Care to have a peek?

Ummmmm... not sure. Could be both. ;) try adjusting your screen- they're possibly not the most easy-to-read icons in the world, I guess. :-/

Hello dear, I got here from [livejournal.com profile] greatpoets and have added you, if you don't mind, because you are interesting enough to read. I love these, particularly 14; Emily was one of the first poets of my childhood and that poem in particular; I wonder whether I could use it, please?

:) Have added back! thanks for the compliment ;)

And most absolutely you can use it- that's why I made them, after all. I really loved that poem when I was a kid (about two years ago *grin*) and people really seem to be liking those ones, so I'm glad they succeeded.
