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 leap of faith

Scrabbling like a burrowing dog
She attacks the air
With hand-formed claws.
This preparation sacrosanct,
Before the leap, the pause.
Then dips the head and long legs bend
Crouches tight and arms extend,
Then BANG,
With an explosion of nervous delight
She springs in momentary flight.
An unshaken belief in what's to come,
Caught by the waiting arms of mum.
