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.

First taste

A taste of the new.
First drop hits and sizzles
As batter slips from spoon to pan.
Brown to black the outliers crisp and crack
As oil draws a marbled web
A map of islands, gold and glistening.
Then flip and down
With the hack and bite of boiling specks,
Skin hastily withdrawn.
The smell is on the attack,
Great gasps of hot flavour
Rushing to envelop and choke,
And it's done.
Anticipation builds as it cools.
