5 Limericks and limerick piece 

5 things that are special to me and make me happy 

I really like to eat food as many people do it helps no matter how I feel one of my favourites since i was little is steak and kidney pie only the pukka pie ones of course no other has that unique taste. 

I have always enjoyed manga but recently I got really into reading weekly manga when discovering the Shonen jump app pushed me to catch up and get ahead of a lot of anime I really enjoy. 

I have really liked my beard and odd one but i have always seen it adds a lot to my appearance and plus i look like a baby without it. 

A  fun thing I have picked up while at uni is DnD with my housemates really enjoyed the story we have played through for the past few years and my special character Ringo the bardic frog. 

My last special thing is my love for hip hop and rap it has been a great genre which has helped me through many times I love other genres as well. 

  

Limerick 1

I really like to eat lots of food

It helps when I’m in any mood

My fav is steak pie

Without I would die

I would even chomp in the nude how lude

 

Limerick 2

I immerse in the manga I read

The amazing weekly chapters I need

Binging my hero

Deku growing from zero

Becoming the hero to lead

 

Limerick 3

Absolutely love my beard

Without I look mega weird

No clue why ginger

I’m not no whinger

Sometimes from its greatness I’m feared

 

Limerick 4

My DnD boy a frog bard

Only a foot-high life is hard

He never ever picks fights

Fear of the white lights

All he wants is to sit in the yard

  

Limerick 5

My main music genre is hip hop

Nearly everything is a bop

Helps when on a walk

Better than any talk

Always listening will never stop   


The limerick piece 

I chose my first limerick for my big piece. 


The 6 page comic script 

For the six page comic script which is to be based on a previous piece of work I ma going to use the 15 min prompt from the first lesson. 

I knew the fact they wanted to somewhere quiet was a bit weird but this girl was so amazing online to talk to and was so cute I knew I wouldn't get this chance again. Nearing the location of our meeting point I smelled blood that iron tang slithered onto my tongue walking further I heard loud splashes and slaps around the corner. I turn to be met with a sight that freezes me in place the girl I was supposed to meet covered in blood surrounded by mangled corpses. her eyes where a bright yellow shining through her blood covered face. she turned at me smiled and said in a soft voice lets go on that date.
