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.

Merchant mile

It's a good place to shop, or so I'm told
If all you want to buy is gold
Watches, rings and diadems
Hang like flowers from their stems
With rubies, emeralds and pearls
To adorn the chosen girls
And boys of wealthy families
Who wander through here as they please
Pointing at a passing piece
To decorate a distant niece
And all the while the sellers smile
Like nimble-fingered crocodiles
