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.

Good soup

The story starts with a stone
Smooth and salty
Locked by the sea
Pulled from the shore
Dropped in a pot
Filled from the stream
A carrot chopped
An onion skinned
A neighbour's leek
A turnip root 
Potatoes peeled
Garlic crushed
Brought to the boil
Sighing and slumping
As all gather round
Bowls clutched tight
Ladle by ladle
The pot grows thin
Until only the stone
Remains within
