A free gift to my readers. If you like it, share it with a friend.

  • Wow. Haven't digested them all, but cherished a few. Will mull over. You have a gift, Marcus. It's true.
  • Yay. I love a free gift! I can't wait to hear it.

    Blessings on this Father's Day. Here's a little factoid. Over here, Father's Day is on August 8th. You say 8 by saying "ba". August is the 8th month...so the 8th month and the 8th day is pronounced "ba (yue) ba (hao)" and the word for dad is "ba-ba." So "ba-ba's" day is on ba-ba. I always thought that was neat. :)

    OK...off to read my ebook.
  • Thank you. You move me, you know?

    (Yup, I sat here and could not stop the forward motion... read every last one in a single sitting, even though I should be working on an article for a Foundation guy.)
  • Thank you Mark
  • I got all chocked up over the puppy and I liked the spider one-I saw a huge pocketed spider trap a dragon fly today :)
  • That would be choked. *grin*
  • Thanks so much for this gift - and a precious gift it is.
  • You all are very sweet!

    Mary, what an honor that my work inspired you to write a poem.

    Stacy, that is a great tidbit about Father's day... in China? I'm not sure where you are specifically. Silly me. I always assume everyone is in the continental US.

    Eve, I wrote the spider poem on an anniversary trip to Camano Island in Washington State. Beautiful beautiful place. I'm glad you liked the poem. I almost didn't include it.

    Susan and Spaghetti, you are both welcome. Enjoy!
  • Taiwan, but it's the same on the mainland, too. Saying I'm in "China" gets way too political. ha! I lived on the mainland for awhile, too. But, the hill country is home and where I grew up. We'll be living in Burleson in a year.

    Wonderful work, by the way. You have a real talent.
  • Wow, Marcus! I'm impressed. You're very talented. You really should try submitting your book to a publisher. Three Rivers Press, Graywolf Press, and Farrar, Straus and Giroux would be great for starters.

    Also, POETRY Magazine is accepting submissions from new writers from June-August. You can submit up to four poems at one time. More info is available on my website at www.marriageleap.com.

    Thank you for sharing your poems. I hope this info is helpful to you. Blessings!
  • Marla, thanks for the encouragement--especially since you are a fellow poet. I'll definitely take a look at POETRY. I've read that journal from time to time...
  • Found your site- and yes, Marla's advice has come to my use as well.

    Liked your poems- A Boy becomes god...
  • Salik,

    So glad that you were able to use the info! I have more information on poetry and writing resources on my site, Leap of Faith, so feel free to check it out at www.marriageleap.com. Thanks!

    Marla
