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.

Keening stone

Keening stone
Struck a blow with tempered steel
Reverberate to find the tone
Split and fall like citrus peel.
There inside
First breath for 80 million years
Waiting for the longest tide
No water of life ever appeared.
Trapped in mud
Fossilised and hard as rock
'Til woken with the thud
Of another dull hammer knock.
