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.

Amaryllis

How big are the bees in South Africa
That such a flower should be required? 
A fatal explosion of blood-red shock
Mounted on a 3-foot green spire. 

I can only guess that on the Cape 
The wind must waltz in languid puffs 
Or else that tall top-heavy plant
Would be flattened on the bluffs. 

But I do agree its majesty
Is something full of flare
And as I'm passing through the house
I cannot help but stare.
