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.

Hope

Cabin fever; a common theme
Of nights extant and loaded dreams
Of flowers red and blooming gold
Of music played and stories told.
We took our chance dressed in white
Like Icarus we made our flight
And suffered the same fate to fall
Flat on the floor, the ceiling, the wall.
No more cups to shelter within
No more shields behind our grins
We broke from that, severed ties
Packed our things and made to fly.
What fools we were to hold those dreams
Things fell apart at every seam
The chains were on, the knives were sharp,
But hope stayed buried in our hearts.
