Dale Cohenour, jr. Was born in the mountains of West Virginia Dec. 9th 1967. Raised amongst the beauty of the mountains and warm hearted people he gained a wealth of inspiration always in front of him. Learning to see the elegance and beauty even in the face of adversity and sorrow. Like those mountains of his youth his poetry rises to great heights only to take you back into the blackest valleys and beyond.
He Began writing early on in his life. Publishing small pieces in local print as well as sharing many with those he met along the way. When he began chatting online his identity as Devlpoet became a popular figure as he maintained a morning mailer for a time with subsciptions hitting in the hundreds.
After years of encouragement he was at last persuaded to keep those he wrote and put them together to share with his children and the world. Words to make others cry, words to make them fly and see with new eyes. Sit, read, make a friend with his words.
Just Some Silly Footprints
Footprints on the seashore, beside mine all the way.
Bears witness to tomorrow, that we were here today.
Just some tiny footprints, left upon the sand
Two sets of tiny footprints, of a woman and a man.
Footprints just like memories, some will surely go.
But the footprints you make within me, those will always show
Always walk beside me, stay but if you can.
And together we'll leave our footprints,
together within the sand.
