Getting Better

 

Getting Better
Things can only get better,
that’s what she always told her little sister.
Things are getting better all the time
even though it doesn’t feel that way.
So eat it up!
It’s important
as Jane Eyre said,
to keep in good health and not die.
So eat it up.
And save a little for the cat.

I live in north Wales. I have been writing at various points in my life since I was in my teens. My work is influenced by issues of social justice and events, places and people I has known or imagined. I am especially interested in exploring the boundaries of dream, fantasy and reality.
