Jan Allison Poet Bio

This Is Me

 (Jan… or in some poems Stan)
 compassionate, loyal, humourous... always uses an extra 'u'
Daughter, mother
Lover of men with greying hair, plain chocolate, orchids
Who feels men shouldn’t dye their greying hair, sweet shops here should be open 24/7
Who fears losing my faculties, my mother's demise, living on my own
Who would like to see Pompeii, Easter Island and meet you guys for real
Resident of the Isle of Man
Allison
