Favourite flowers 006 (Parts of us). A poem featured in my book, 412. ——— I’m so close to finishing the writing side of my book and I think this will be the last poem I upload from 412, thank you for all the DMs asking about my book, what I’m doing, how I’ve been etc, it really means a lot! ——— Poem: Nights are for coughing up the parts of us that I can’t digest. Chunks, lumps, I’ll throw it all up and let a grotesque mess coalesce. Phlegm-coated stress, dark as syrup, swamps my desk, yet still I retch. So what is left? I gave up hope, I'm hollow, why can’t I forget? ——— Q: Do you hide any secrets in your poems that only a few people will find?

Hi I made an Instagram for my poems because I’ve never had the courage to share them. I’m not as good as you but they always help me express my emotions. You inspired me to share. Thank you!

You have no idea how much this means to me. Show the world what you’re made of! 💕

Ashen grey. An audio recording of a poem featured in 412. —— Hey friends! It’s been a little while but I’m back with a little something from 412. I just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who DM’d after I posted about some guy stealing my work, your kind words mean so very much to me. —— Question for my fellow writers: if you didn’t write, what would you do to scratch your creative itch? Comment down below and I’ll share my favourite responses on my story! (at Durham, Durham)

i wrote a book about you. it’s okay if you never hear about it, at least a few people will read about how amazing you were. i hope you’re well and i hope you’re chasing all those dreams we talked about. goodnight.

I let myself down the day I begged you to not turn us down

Hi! I just wanted to say I love your writing and I honestly get quite excited when you like something I have written, so thank you so much! I was also wondering if you had any advice for someone thinking about creating an instagram for their poetry? Anyways thank you again, your writing really inspires me and I hope you have a fab day :)

Thank you so much for the lovely message! I don’t have any super good advice, if you want to share your work on Instagram, go for it. Don’t let your number of followers dictate your worth, I’ve seen so many writers on Instagram, who are freaking incredible, with only 100 or so followers. If you make an account, let me know! 🍃

i love your writing so much and I can't believe you liked my posts. It's strange how exam week can make you not notice anything else. I actually love your writing so much! Anyhow, I hope you have a wonderful day :)

Thank you so much! Good luck with your exams, I’m sure you’ll do incredibly well!

Hey. Good luck on your book and have a great day! :)

Thank you! Have a great day 😌

Favourite flowers 005 (Untitled). An extract from a poem featured in my book, 412. —— Question for my fellow writers: What period of your life do you find you write about most often? Reply with your answer below, I’ll share my favourite responses on my story! —— Poem: It’s so easy to get caught on the remnant thorns you talked of, now tattered threads define me.

play with words, not hearts

412.

My first poetry book, titled 412, will be out later this year. It feels kinda weird, a piece of me will be out there in the world, in places of the world I’ve never visited. Once it’s out I will get back to posting regularly, I feel like I’ve been gone for ages and I hate it! Book 2 is in the works but it won’t disrupt my upload schedule. Thank you for all your support, someone loves you.

Love,

Harry Bell

Loving you was easy

Every daydream leads to London’s streets

Cocaine is so good! The poem I mean. Not the illicit substance that you can um. Yeah. Your poem is nice.

Ahaha, thank you! Have a lovely day ☀️

Cocaine, an audio recording. Haven’t posted in a while so here’s a reading of a poem from 412. I hope you are all doing well. Someone loves you. Question for my fellow writers: what does literary success look like to you? 🤔 —— It's so hard to feign feeling this way, there must be cocaine in the whites of your eyes, for they are all I can see when I close mine. Again and again, I see you dancing in dreams, constantly fracturing the barrier between reality and being asleep. (at Durham, Durham)

Huge shoutout to my favourite Canadian! Jacqui’s art (and words!) are super inspiring. Definitely check out the rest of her work, you won’t be disappointed!

I know you are not   what you seem

I know   sometimes you are a shell and fragile and empty  

and sometimes   you are so full   that you leave   yourself burning red hot

I know   you try   to inflate your chest   with expectations   of concrete  

sometimes you will be small   and when you   are less than

I will be more.

- love poems to no one in particular 

omg you appeared on my notifs. im so giddy when the writers i admire on this platform like my posts ahhh thank u thank u

Thank you for reading!

"London" that piece is GOLD. Mhm. Keep writing. Please.

Thank you!

Hey pal, lovely work! I have to admit your writing has a certain aesthetic appeal to them which my own decidedly lacks ha, nice to find work that balances words and visual art. Have a great day! Alice

Thank you so much! Have a lovely day ☀️

I’m really curious, are you married? If you find the question too personal, then you may just ignore this ask.

Nope! 22 and very much single 😋

Favourite flowers 004 (Smoke and mirrors). An extract from a poem featured in my book, 412. Question for my fellow writers: do you think someone could be a writer if they don’t feel emotions strongly? Reply with your answer below, I’ll share my favourite responses on my story! (at Durham, Durham)

Art series 006 (Mildew). Art by the incredibly talented @ariellajadee, please check out and follow her breathtaking art! —— Mildew accrues deep within you, blankets of cocaine shelter an erratic brain, etched on your skull, a misconstrued worldview, like droplets of rain, tears fall on a windowpane. —— More collabs with @ariellajadee are coming soon, stayed tuned!
