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.

Cerastes

Cerastes, the horned serpent
Of Egyptian times
A pictogram
Reduced to 3 lines
To my eye it looked
More like a snail
But to the Phoenicians
It was Waw, the nail
And so it moved
Through meaning and sound
Coming and going
But sticking around
