Jiraiya13• Show poetry

Well im a huge manga and comics fan, i no longertake ethics and philosophy, english lit and english lang as subjects in college. Now i have finally made it into university and am studying media, culture and society. i have been writing poetry for about 5 years now and the way i see it even if i was the last poet in the world i would still continue writing because i want to see poetry live on. as for style i tend to be humerous, i do take stuff seriously (especially my poetry) but i am greatly inspired by the likes of Roald Dahl, Tim Burton, Roger McGough and Spike Milligan. I cannot forget the importance to me of dante, william blake and john milton.


Here are some of my favourite quotes:
