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.

Knock Knock

'If you must', the door-knocker speaks,
Its grating voice an impish squeal, 
'But there is nothing for you here, 
Nothing that opening will reveal' 

You reach to raise the iron-work
And could swear it moves before you do
You drop the ring upon the bolt
And silence echoes inside you

Before too long it speaks again
'I told you but you never ken,
Behind this door lies nothing'. 
And so you sound the iron again

Again resounding nothingness rebounds 
But this time bids the door ajar
You step through yourself and look behind
To find the door is who you are.
