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 Magpie

My heart is a magpie
Monochrome but searching for gold
On stiff wings I rake the sky
And call and call to no avail.
I hop and croak and flick my tail
Shout at the wind with no reply.
Gathering bric-a-brac that will never be sold,
Fixing time with jasper eye.
