B. Devine Poetry

I'm just a free-time writer writing words. My words are my own, but I write for me, I write for you, and I write for those who want their stories told but can't find the words to tell it. You can find my debut collection of poetry/prose, "Unconquered," on Amazon.  Follow me on Instagram @b.devinepoetry and Twitter @BDevinePoetry

I’m still trying to figure out the difference between wanting someone to love you and wanting someone to let you love them.

“I believe people are reading more poetry because we distrust the diatribe, the easy answer, the argument that holds only one note. Poetry makes its music from specificity and empathy. It speaks to the whole complex notion of what it means to be human.”

— Ada Limón, for PBS NewsHour

A haiku for you...

With a title like that it would be rude not to

Finally checked the concierge and lo and behold this book had arrived from @xoxohomeless​ (probably months ago I am very lazy with checking in)

I am digging his poetry.
