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.

The craft

Inside every stone is a flower,
A swan, a laughing, man. 

You just need to know how to see, 
How to feel the sinews pulsing there
To curl the hair and smooth the skin. 

What would you find in there?
What memory live and vivid would leap to mind
Glowing in stone, reacting to your touch?

Cut carefully, cut cleanly
Craft the form and free the thought
Find the truth that lies within.
