IPYPIASM in action

Yes, yes, I did go out this morning and slip some poems (alright. I admit it's just copies of one poem. But I figure that no particular person is going to find more than one of them, so it doesn't matter they're all the same.) Poem in a pocket.
Poem pretending to be shoes.

Poem among our Fabulous National Champion Rugby Team's books.

Poem in the chocolate Santas.

And finally one in the coffee maker aisle, a hurried shot as the salesperson came up, wanting to know why I was taking pictures of the merchandise. Thought I was a spy from a rival store!
Uh, no, just checking this is the right brand...

What it says is here.

Yay! I love the Santas, who appear most appreciative, and the dramatic snatched shot just shows how action-packed IPYPIASM can be. Is.

Guerilla poetry! How cool is that?! I suppose I could go and see the poem, but iut would be more fun to go into stores and start throwing merchandise around and telling the sales clerks I'm hunting for hidden poems. Good thing you didn't do this at an airport of all poets would be added to the terrorist lists.

Okay! I gotta do it! Of course I hate going into shops int he first place. But if this is International Put Your Poem in a Shop Month -- December, I assume. -- there is little time to waste.

NanU, you are a true freedom fighter and very nearly a martyr to the cause.Soon all the shops of the world will be hotbeds of guerilla poetry.
(That was my ready-made excuse too in case someone saw the flash - umm, I'm not sure if this is what my wife wants or not!)

You are so brave, shop staff scare me even when I'm being a good shopper.
