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 catch

I caught you like a vampire bat
Dropping from the sky,
A bad disease,
A swarm of fleas,
Or grit blown in my eye.

I caught you like a flat tyre
Driving down the road,
A hornet's sting,
A wedding ring,
Or a plague of falling toads.

I caught you like a catkin
From a hornbeam high above,
A rhino horn,
A cactus thorn,
Or a bad case of love.
