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.

Cooper's Hill

Steep and swift the falling lee
The drop that lifts the spirits so,
Grass as high as the eye can see
And a cheese at the summit ready to go.
With a roar the cheddar churns the ground
And cheesecloth shreds the brittle mud
As piles of bodies tumble down
With broken bones and scuffs of blood
Inexorably those packed curds roll
Like wild boar clearing a woodland path
That lactic gyre takes its toll
Cheese always has the final laugh.
