October - Colin Taylor - Bog

All of the poems contained in this slim volume were written during the single month of October. It was the idea of the project to write one poem on each day of the month and as the day ended to work no longer on that piece so each one remains as it was finished at midnight on that day. There may be a theme of darkness present, events unfolding at night that is due to the fact I work at night. It was not intentional. Some works I remain unhappy with and others work as intended but they will always remain as they are and I offer no apologies for any missing punctuation, if the time had gone the time had gone and they must live as they stand. It was not my intention to comment on events that occurred on that specific day either in the now or from the past but merely to write the thoughts that came to mind. Sometimes ideas for other poems popped into my thoughts as I wrote but for reasons of this work they had to be left, some were remembered during the month and have found their way in the others I hope will one day return to me to be written down. I present this work as it is and make no apologies should anyone find it unreadable or beyond comprehension for after all, it is a slim work but it is mine own.
