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.

Minor faults

The creep across my restless skull
Like a sensor net in a sci-fi film
Stealthy pin-pricks in the dark
Activating every nerve

The ringing in my ears that yet
Alarms me when in silent thought
Echoes of every past sound
Combined in quiet cacophony

The tingle tickling down my arm
So subtle in the day to day
Becomes a mashing nagging ache
That drives me from my restless bed

The many minor faults of age 
That magnify when least desired
Like weary friends that weigh us down
We carry them invisibly
