ABOUT
My Story
"My life has been gifted not only with poetry but with some of the worlds's most wonderful supportive people, to whom I wish to send my love, thanks, and gratitude, for I am fulfilled."
My Name is Dave Wilkes founder of Just Divine Poem Service. In 2012 I had a Dream...to write inspirational and uplifting modern-day poems for people of all ages and all cultures globally. I wanted to hear 7-8 special bullet points that best described people’s loved ones and create bespoke poems as a lasting memory for the recipient.
During 2012, I extended my thoughts to writing for people’s homes and businesses, literally anything of value to individuals. Much of the unique pieces I create are presented to the recipient in beautiful frames from my Just Divine collection.
To date, in 2019 I’m proud to say I’ve completed my 900 th piece about different topics in general life and my specialty poem creations are personalised, for people celebrating special occasions or to tell a loved one how much they have appreciated or a general thank you.
My Dad was the one who realised there was something quite astronomical about how I carved beauty from words, especially in greeting cards and the delivery of speeches at family and friends functions, regardless to the number of guests that were present.
"My Dad suggested that my words should be captured in frames
to bring the whole experience to life".
"I feel the future holds great times ahead with amazing opportunities as many people are being inspired by the depth of my thought, that’s applied to every piece".
HOW FAR I HAVE COME
I feel I’ve been blessed to take people’s bullet points and convert them into words of beauty, to make the recipient feel the poem gift is...an incredible gift of value, which will last forever.
Within 12 months another part of my dream came true, to not only write the poem for the special person but to, perform the unique poem to the person at their special venue, for the guests to hear, then present the framed poem gift to whoever is celebrating.

MY FUTURE
I feel the future holds great times ahead with amazing opportunities as many people are being inspired by the depth of my thought, that’s applied to every piece.
In 2019 saw Just Divine Poem Service enter a global arena by being commissioned to perform at 2 events in the beautiful country of Norway in the city of Hamar. 2020 will see a very inspiring book published to uplift
people of all ages, with the intention of producing many volumes to motivate many people globally. Searching for inspiration from within is something I demand of myself every day, which allows me to share with others.
I spoke my poems at different organisations, men and women groups and I have a passion for motivating our amazing youths internationally. I have successfully completed school workshops along with challenging behavior students, throughout the West Midlands, with incredible testimonials.
MY VISION
My vision takes me way beyond the thoughts of man and my plan is to increase the availability of framed and having more options,show to see my poetry words presented. My growth in wisdom and faith will bring a fresh
impetuous to the way Just Divine Poem service will be received around the world.
Dave Wilkes
Thank you for supporting the unique gift I’ve been blessed with and it would be my pleasure to create something, exclusive for you or a loved one in the near future.
"...The truth is that poetry comes naturally to me."
An audience I would love to perform or minister to would be a football crowd, with thousands of supporters. The person I’d love to minister my poems to would be TD. Jakes, who has inspired me for many years.
WHAT AUDIENCE OR FAMOUS PERSON WOULD I LIKE TO PERFORM TO?
The reason why I became a poet is I was recognised by a very wise man to me, that I had something special for the world to hear and see. I was reminded this is a raw natural talent creating poetry magic and people need to receive the blessing I have been blessed with.
