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.

I'm the one

I'm a tyrannosaur with two tiny claws
No one knows what they're there for.
I'm a killer robot sent into the past
I'd fire my laser but my batteries won't last.
I'm a shark rising up from beneath
I'd bite your boat but I'd break my teeth.
I'm a nuclear bomb high up in the sky
Falling so fast but I don't know why.
I'm a knight errant sent into war
But my sword's too heavy to lift from the floor.
I'm a suicide risk with a gun to my head
If I wasn't so scared of life I'd be dead.
I'm a star on the brink of supernova
One more push could tip me over.
I'm the grim reaper playing at chess
Ignoring the board because my hair is a mess.
I'm just a man staring up at the ceiling
Deaf and blind, devoid of feeling.
