WhatWhyHow???

This year, I set myself the foolish task of trying to write something every day, and what you see here is the result. None of this is finished, polished, or in any way good. It's usually a few lines at the end of the day when I'm tired, my head's broken, and this nonsense spills out of it onto the page. Feel free to comment away, and if you think anything has any potential then let me know and I might have a go at working on it further.

But hang on, where's the first month? You've ripped us off! I hear you say... Well, yes. I have been writing since the beginning of January, but it's taken me a while to get the blog up, so everything here is a month old.

Emerald

The emerald eye
Of the buck-toothed girl
And the dog beside her
Thick-set and heavy.
Alive at the thought of moving on
Of mirrors gleaming in earnest reflection.
They cross and crash and end the tale,
And newspapers immortalise.
But black and white strip the life from her.
Such beautiful eyes of emerald green
Like hope itself defined,
And never again will their like be seen.
