This is me taking part in the project that you can view at www.hundreddays.net/ . It’s down to Josie Long (who I shall be holding responsible for my sanity during this). You can follow her on Twitter with @JosieLong or me: @JohnnyA10 or the whole project: @hundredday.
I’m John Ashton. I'm a poet and one day I long for that to be a job description rather than something say as they roll their eyes. And just so you know, this 'happy' thing is about a million and one miles out of my comfort zone so don't judge me if I can't handle it and I whip out a tambourine or something. If this turns me all happy clappy, I'll kill myself (well, I would if I weren't going to be so happy clappy... oh, crap. Can't even fall back on suicide. I'll have to smother myself with my own 'hug me' t-shirt).
You might have spotted, I can be a little dark. Well, that's why I'm trying to make these poems a little more smily. I could write thunder, rain, rage, cynicism and greyness without much trouble, but this is all about making me better. Read the stuff on the website and you'll get it. And the Prelude poem might fill you in on me a little bit.
Ok, so without further ado (though I haven't noted a great deal of 'ado' thus far), with a quick nod to my #100Day people (spot the trend on twitter too), let's get to it.
