I have been writing poetry since late middle school, it all started with the first love of my life. As cliche as I don't want that to sound, I have branched off of that knowledge and let my feelings take control of my life. I write to live, live to write, and dream of making my mark on the world of poetic literature. I am from Cleveland, Ohio. My name is Ryan Jenkins with the pen name: D.P. Younginger (Dee-Pee-Younging-er) and I have only just begun my journey through my life's pages.
