February 8 – Labels
She wears them like fashion
Paraded and branded in servitude
Discounted: For Quick Sale
He wears them as gaff tape
It keeps the cracks from widening
To hold the acronyms at bay
Each takes a blank label
Selects a pen
And writes their own identity
I am an English teacher and drummer/percussionist with an interest in literary pursuits, creative endeavours, rhythmic permutations, theological amplifications and comedic outbursts.
Here you will find my creative detritus: articles on living a creative life and writing explorations.
And other ideas I have snaffled from the papers stuck on the fridge door.

My collaborative epistolary novel, "Post Marked: Piper's Reach," written with Jodi Cleghorn (@JodiCleghorn) out now via Vine Leaves Press.
Come and browse through the library; there is no need to be silent.
A Fullness in Brevity - Adam Byatt 
Adam, I really liked your blog, so I have nominated you for the Liebster Award. If you choose to accept, put it on your blog, answer the questions I have posted, post eleven random facts about yourself and then list eleven questions for eleven blogs that you would like to nominate. Look forward to reading more of your posts.
Thanks for the nomination Elizabeth but I will respectfully decline at this point. Perhaps at a later stage.
Thanks for reading and thanks for considering my blog and what I write worthy of your time and attention.
I want to say a duet. You have that back and forth that was in A ritual of tea.
And every label in long form?
In copperplate script. Or comic sans. Haven’t decided 🙂
I have never been a designer brand girl, I did once buy a t-shirt because I liked what it said on the label,,, the inside clothes label & it was underneath where the washing instructions should have been. Yes I wore it with the label sticking up so I could share it with the world!
I liked this one, it reminded me of my time wearing the label!
