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 battle for a quiet night

I cannot know the fear that binds you
Every evening without fail
Instead, I close the door and whisper
As they multiply, sealed inside.

A thousand times around the sun
These nightmares come as darkness sets
You close your eyes and call my name
And I ignore you nonetheless.

It takes a story to defeat them
Unlocking self belief, empowering
Change in dreams of knights
And mangonels, your treasured sleep
Protected.
