Welcome to an inside read of the first chapter of the longest ever novel written completely in rhyme.
For the last 8 years, my wife Katherine has been working towards this incredible achievement. Nobody has ever done this, over 130,000 words, spanning some 350 pages, The Jaw is not simply a collection of random Poetry put together to form a book, The Jaw is an actual novel.
Katherine estimates about 3 months until completion, so if anyone in this amazing community knows any publishers who may be interested, then please give us a shout out.
Katherine herself will in future be writing more in the Steemit world so that you can get to know her and learn about her passion for writing, crazy imagination and sleepless nights with writers block.
In the mean time, catch up with her on

Chapter One
Days Like These
Azure blue skies, a soft cooling breeze
Oh how I love days like these
Unaware of people passing by;
Two young lovers gaze up into the sky
A tartan blanket lays neatly on the ground
They lie there together not making a sound
Side- by- side they hold each other tight
It truly is a beautiful sight
Wrapped together in a loving embrace;
He holds her close… kisses her face
They are both fixated, deeply in love
Bond together like a hand to a glove
A magical web of love is being spun
Entwined young lovers, as two become one
The love on their faces, so deep it shows;
That romance blossoms like loves young rose
In their own little world, that magical place
The universe slows down, runs at their pace
Oblivious to the noise of kids running about
They wouldn’t notice if war broke out
As they bathe in the sunlight of golden beams
They're lost in their own thoughts and dreams
He then pulls her in closer, she tucks herself in;
Deep into his neck, under his chin
Her fingers steadily stroke at his chest
As his hand gently brushes her breast
He kisses her cheek, asks for no consent
She looks soothed, happy... so content
They've entered the realms of relaxation
Bodies subdued as though under sedation
In their own world, not a word spoken
A lover's spell never to be broken
