On Characters and Identity [Unintended Poem]

in #editedbytiny • 6 years ago (edited)

Over on @thewritersblock Discord server, we regularly discuss topics that relate to writing in one way or another. This morning, we discussed characters, genders, and identities we ascribe to our characters. See, there's a phenomenon that regularly occurs over on the Block. Your words are watched and edited into unintended poems by the lovely @tinypaleokitchen!

Poems like this:

On Characters and Identity

 
                    with how the face of society
                    is changing

                    more tolerant
                    breaking gender personality attributions

                    it may become essential
                    to make characters
                    more fluid
                    in the overall

                    exceptions will exist

                    but more and more

                    people are embracing
                    just being

      A man is but a woman,
      in words and hidden feelings.
      closer and closer we reach,
      until we cannot be torn.
      divinity resumes,
      in every sentient being.

      Thank you for the pledge, Anike! :-)

      Raccoon is currently a vampire, we think--unseen in daylight hours, holy terror at night. Either that, or she's finally adjusting. LOL Very "raccoon" behavior, at least. We were starting to wonder. LOL Some semblance of normalcy in these woods is nice.

      You're most welcome!

      And LOL. Sure sounds like a vampire, alright. Signs of adjustment is good progress. Hope the normalcy, however that may be with so many animals, comes back around soon.
