#taglabels

The interminable writers block has struck again, and so the following is something completely left wing for me that perhaps should be consigned to the waste paper basket.


Colour race creed diversity
introvert extrovert opposites
superior inferior, (that’s complex)
genders, male female
categorisation
straight
gay
bisexual
other (exclamation mark).
Do not delete cannot delete,
genetically encoded  D.N.A
programmed to label we’re
classified chromosome X or Y.
Cyber café, searching, found profiles # tag X
blind date (question mark) bio’ # tag Y... send . . .

    I too tend to write whatever comes out when I'm blocked. The results can be shocking, amazing, weird, unexpected and occasionally excellent.

    An excellent piece of writing Julian. :-)

    This is an interesting tekkie read. I enjoyed following it down the page. Keep writing, that is the only way to make writer's block go away. Smiles.

    I think this is very creative... found poetry is fun.... Once when I lacked inspiration I tried to look in my spam folder... and I found poetry.

    No, it's interesting and well crafted – and might lead in even more interesting directions if you choose to explore and expand on it.

    Writer's block is a lie, and you just proved it...

    I love the direction that this list went in. Many of these terms were considered to be rather personal and even unmentionable a mere generation ago. Now they are omnipresent in our everyday lives. Popping amongst these relatively new terms are words that indicate some of the criteria by which we process these terms. I thought this was a fascinating piece.

      Wendy, thankyou for your remarks; yes you are quite right about some things being unmentionable a generation ago, still that's progress and where would we be without it. Glad you enjoyed it.

    A good way to rekindle the creative juices again by going through some vocab which might trigger off lots of ideas! Yes, Julian!
