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.

Building a Castle

Like a puzzle the pieces fit together
A jigsaw with only a mental image,
Curtain wall to near-side turret
Lift the peg to fit the buttress...
The keep's fallen over!
One hand hold the battlements
The other secure the inner wall,
As a foot keeps shut the drawbridge
While the other dangles in the moat.
Gently now, ease tower tab to tower slot,
And in.
Gate posts locked,
Machicolation aligned,
Balconies arranged just so,
Crowned with a flag, victoriously perched.
All ready for tomorrow's battle of the princess and the unicorn.
