For some reason, quite possibly ignorance, I have never made it my practice to add “tags” to Hooting Yard postages. I shove them into a category, but have always neglected the tags. It is not something I have thought about, until today, when I have realised that a skilled “tagger” can create something approaching poetry.
The friend who I thumped on the bonce with the Hammer of Thumpiness, until she caved in and began blogging, is only six posts in at BlackberryJuniper And Sherbet, yet her grasp of tagging is a wonder to behold. Consider this:
memory
rain
Swanage
wind
What a corker! Time, surely, to eject Carol Ann Duffy* from the Laureateship and appoint my friend in her stead.
* NOTE : The preposterous Duffy's latest witterings argue that teenpersons' txt-spk has poetic potential. Shouldn't she be promoting literacy rather than garbled barbarism?
