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.

Fencing

Watching the flashing points
The arrogant steps
The clash of blades
Heavy white jackets flex
At every thrust and turn
En Garde the call
To arms! To arms!
A circled sword
Toe to toe
Tensed to strike
And go again
Lunge and thrust
Parry and block
A smile behind the mask
I think he likes it
