Passion Park University



Open the gates to the ribbon road straights,
Stressed out mates, commercialism rates,
Ex students claim this is where life starts,
Agreed it to be far and foreign from the now,

Silent students with cocked up glasses and plastered with workbooks,
Licentious students with a pride of body and scent of leisure,
Attentive students but to themselves the selfish gits,
Lucid students with the creativity to kill themselves,

Blockade and destroy that old neglected park,
Drama derived from jealous lovers and wrecked opinions,
Teachers i’ll miss for their presentation of passion,
Students we kissed and missed, they're mistakes,

There will be distance I won’t want to get used to,
An isolation, but freedom, a prize to gain,
Adulthood here we come,
I shouldn’t be that excited, should I?

William Renshaw

William Renshaw born on the 25th May 2004 is a British poet coming from Newport, Wales. He is an honours student at the University of Bolton studying BA English. Growing up in a family of retail labourers and engineers, He hasn't particularly made a stand in the professional world of poetry until now working toward publishing his first 2 collections, 'Thoughts Expand' and 'The Theory of Love.' Living in the Greater Manchester area and also residing in Blackpool from 8 to 18, he has grapsed a rich culture for the North West of England. His poetry work usually features an abundance of mellow topics including death, suicide and a pessimistic decline of the modern world. More recently, William has began writing romantic poems for his lover and ones that any person can involve themselves within. We know he got a fair amount of inspiration for his poems from his A level Sixth Form tutors Natalie Collister and Rebecca Bain. He also received a fair amount of inspiration and guidance from his late Great Grandmother, Evelyn Haslam who passed away in 2018. Eldest son of Alexandra Renshaw (1983-pre) and Lee Renshaw (1978-pre). He has 1 brother, Thomas Renshaw (2006-pre) and a sister, Victoria Renshaw (2012-pre). more…
