oh my god, I have a problem.

[labellementeuse]

Another... thirty or so icons. *falls over* These ones are mostly- almost all, in fact- New Zealand poetry. There may be some American ones in the future if I can find my Penguin collection, but for now, I think My Heart Goes Swimming, which is an anthology of New Zealand love poetry collected by Jeny Bornhaldt and Geoffrey O'Brien, will do nicely. I really recommend the book, as well.

Again: all of the icons below the cut are made by combining the beautiful bases/textless icons of posticonic with miscellaneous bits and bobs of poetry. PLEASE CREDIT posticonic IF YOU TAKE ANY OF THESE, which of course you are most welcome to do! Other credit is lovely but nonessential; commenting is much better.
