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 season leaves

Bronzed and falling
Carpets of shimmering damp
Litter the path like phoenix tongues
Still steaming.
Step by step we tread them down
Discussing new life as we walk those bones.
A subtle skeleton
The softest I've known
Bone turns to mud, mud turns to stone.
Ring the change
Beat the Autumn drum
Of beech nuts and acorns
And low golden sun.
