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 Heron

The heron comes with heavy swoop
An alien to these tiled roofs. 
It turns its gaze to flower beds
Where last year fishes raised their heads
And slowly processes this fact
Updating generation maps. 
Now bird to bird and year to year
The brain signals 'no food here'. 
With leaden wings and silent eyes
It leaves and pigeons fill the skies.
