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.

The Chocolate

Eek - forgot to post yesterday's poem... Here it is:

Because the chocolate was not sweet enough
She filled the cup with sugar
Stirred three times and tapped the side
Placed it to her lips and sipped.
She put her feet upon the chair
Turned her back to the fire
Lifted her eyes and spoke to me
Of duty calling and defining the day.
Of delays, demands and more requests
To take her time and rule her life.
There's only so much one can do.
Only so far things can go
Before the push becomes a push-back.
Acceptance to resistance.
I don't know if there is
A measure of when that point is reached
Or if it's just a crowning
To the pressure building deep within.
She lifts her cup and sips again
And soon those pressures fall away.
