About Me

Hey everyone, I'm Luke. I'm at Birmingham City University at the moment studying English with Creative Writing and I'm really enjoying it. As you may have guessed from that last sentence I write creatively, mainly poetry but sometimes short stories too. Naturally I also love books of all sorts and I quite like the theatre and good films too. I also really like music and I play the bass guitar. I'm trying to learn to play acoustic guitar too but it's not going brilliantly at the moment. Very occasionally I skateboard and in the summer I'm never far away from a frisbee. I love people but i'm not naturally extroverted so it might take a while to get to know me. Yeah... That's about it.

Pilgrims tale

A goat-headed god glares from the walls of the underpass,Outside the rain splutters from the sky, darkening the concrete,Barely more inviting than this grimy piss-soaked shrine.Tired from a five hour ...
