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.

Looking through the trees

Echoes of laughter bounce from trunk to trunk and year to year
Who can climb the highest before the teacher calls
Feet slipping on wet bark
Smooth fingers searching for the next calloused bough
She was never one to hesitate
Fingertips always preferred to elbow crooks 
Circumference something to be challenged
At the close when the sentence cut through the cold
She'd drop without a thought
Haunch-hunched leaf-sprung legs welcoming ground
Spread fingers scrunching mud and away
