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.

Life and a Game

Calm as an apple waiting to fall
You played the game
Queen to King's Knight 4
Stubby carvings clutched like thorns
And blood welled from your angry palms
Hinting at fractures deep below.
The plan had not gone quite to plan
Fate bursts like a rotten plum
Each detail caught and catalogued
Each avenue explored and closed
Only one weft thread remains
One path to tread upon.
A consequence of all that truth
A labyrinth of your own design.
You stand and face the vaulted arch
The judging lines arranged en masse.
A step stretched out on Einstein's line
It's time itself can't take the weight.
