Aiko Harman - Poet

What is your guilty pleasure?
Baking.  Late at night.  Sweets.

Who or what is the love of your life?
It is currently my new website, The Adventures of Lion and Sloth, which I have just finished building..  to showcase my budding Poetry Pet empire!  Go check it out! 

It’s Friday night – where are you and what are you doing?
Could either be down at Carter's for a pint or watching the boys play video games at home (and probably tipsy baking, if we've done it in this order). 

Which tea are you?
Tennent's! (the best T)

Who is your leading man or lady?
Ahh, to learn my type you'll have to read my poem 'For Your Love of Robots'.  Luckily for me, I've already found him!
