The Original Poet is an old fashioned sort and is on a mission to bring back both the art of writing and the art of wooing!
In an age of hurried texts, dashed-off emails, tweets and posts, we're in danger of losing real words and with it, the ability to say how we feel, outside of a 140 character limit.
To uphold its traditional values, this charming poem print has been typed on a vintage typewriter and then given some sparkle with a beautiful foiled finish.
This poem is also available as a black & white print

Poem Wording
Old Fashioned
I'm not a fan of email,
I'm not that keen on texts,
I'd rather write in longhand,
for me handwriting's best.
Some say that I'm old-fashioned
and should move with the times,
but I'm a simple human
and I write what's on my mind.
So, I'll keep on sending letters
and love notes you can hold
and I hope perhaps you'll keep them,
to read when you are old.
