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.

Five Points

Funny how a star is born
A five-pointed thing
Not a ball of gas in fiery fury.
Why did 5 become the norm?
I wonder if from oceans warm
The starfish crept
Or found in desiccated state
Defined the celestial form?
Or if an artist tasked to perform
His art on canvas
Sketched out a stylised
Approximation of a solar storm.
Or God poured scorn
On man's attempt
To demonstrate the oceano-
Christian crown of thorns.
I don't know whether to fawn
Over one theory or another.
Or if folks just like the number 5
And have chosen to conform.
