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.

Fire in the Playhouse

Curtain call and every player
Stands and bows as flowers fall
The slow applause and white noise
Blends to silence that deafens all.

The curling smoke behind the scenes
Winding from the setting spark
As dancers lithe and joyful
Sing and spin and cheer the dark.

Then colour fills the air, the sky
The noise of sudden fury bursts
And metal softens, sags and drips
At players unrehearsed.
