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.

Homeless

It had been in the family for generations
Generations of generations born in these towers
Re-lined with yearly moss
Feathers fluffed, eggs sheltered
Celebrated shrieks and wheels
When cracks widened, as did mouths
First flights from pot to tile
Cautious steps to life-long loves 
Title passed from wing to wing
Until it wasn't
80 years of unbroken lives ended
Bricks removed, last traces smoothed
And all they have is shared grief and disbelief
As they cry at unknown tomorrows
