About

I'm known on the internet as banana_the_poet aka Michele Brenton. 


I was born in Swansea, Wales and lived for 3 years on the Greek island of Kefalonia in the Ionian Sea.

I prefer to write short snappy pieces whether serious or quirky.

My main influences have been Hilaire Belloc, Spike Milligan, Ronnie Barker and Shakespeare.  I have tried hard not to be influenced by Dylan Thomas as we already have far too much in common for it not to be a bit Twilight Zone-ish...

Story Behind The Book

In the past I had great success with my funny Valentine poetry and also wrote some romantic verses for people to share with their loved ones on that special day. At the time I only had a funny poetry blog and the romantic poetry seemed out of place amongst the usual tongue in cheek material there. So I started a 'serious' poetry blog called poems-2-share where my more emotional poetry could live comfortably. Last year I brought out a funny Valentine ebook and because I like things to be symmetrical I decided to give my genuinely romantic love poems an airing too. So that is how Banana's Love Poems ebook was conceived. Hope you like it.
