Author has written 53 stories for Humor, Family, Life, Nature, Love, Friendship, Religion, Fantasy, General, Song, and Politics. Hi, My name is Mark, I'm mid forties, for those that wish to know. I've kept all of my poems to myself in the past, never really shared them, fear of rejection I suppose. But I've grown spiritually and can take both good and bad comments. I try to write from the heart, some of my work may be a little hard to follow, or find a meaning too, but some are very open and see through. I like to review work and like having mine reviewed too, so feel free. I'm a fulltime working Father, so my work doesn't spill into Fictionpress/Fictionnet at an alarming rate, but I'll try to keep it up to date with my new stuff. Thank you to all my readers out there, especially IH, your words of encouragement I hold very dear and I only wish I had an ounce of your talent. Thanks for reading, Mark. | |||||||

Underneath reviewsA poetical review to 'Dilemma' by IrregularHonour. I find that sometimes the only way to review great poetry is to step into it, feel and breathe it inward, this then leaves a taste of what was written in ones own poetical mouth. This may be unconventional, but that's me. When I look at the great things in life I find a need to mark it by way of tongue, my may words be acceptable.Poetry: Religion - Rated: K+ - English - Poetry/Spiritual - Chapters: 1 - Words: 515 - Reviews: 1 - Published: 1-16-13 - Complete7.
