To all who have been following my blogs and poetry, The season is changing once more and for me (and I hope you too) life moves on at an interesting pace. Times are hectic, made even more so by the truly mad. Those who live in a constant state of fear that anyone doing well […]
Dear all, It’s been a while my friends, and I hope this blog finds you in good form. While writing to you, due to the position of my desk, I’m able to watch the trees blowing in the wind and the noisy, eager gusts causing the few leaves left to dance. Then there are the […]
Dear reader, I want to share with you a long-term protest that I have about something very common in life. Should you be a person who watches the news, reads the paper and generally likes to keep up-to-date on current affairs, well, you have my sympathy – and my warning. In my opinion, the news […]
Hello my precious readers, The other day I went with my wife to see our two youngest grandchildren in the end-of-year school play. They are four-year-old twin girls and, I can confirm without a hint of bias, they are seriously cute. The moment that all these delightful children came out onto the stage, I think […]
Let us remember, my love All the things we have done, Past long journeys travelled Under the moon and the sun. And remember too, my dear The many hopes we have shared, Where others might falter We held tight and we dared. But remember most, my hear How much together we shine, As God’s precious […]
To my treasured readers, I’m currently looking out of my window upon an autumn scene. Leaves take turn to gently drop from their trees like burnt yellow snowflakes. Other evergreens provide a more modest colour of summer passed, while the coming winter shows its early dress through the small red berries. Above them all is […]
While staying in a hotel in Florida, the lady, who did such a good job of cleaning the room each day, suddenly asked, ‘How do you do it?’ ‘Do what?’ I said, amused but confused. She smiled and said, ‘How do you get the words to write your poetry?’ Well, I attempted to explain, but struggled. […]
Hi all, The more things you can be, the more life is interesting and fun (that is if you’re not being something rather bad). I am several things in life, to name just four; a poet, a writer of adventure books, a husband and a father. For me this crazy mixture of thing is what […]
In this blog there is a particular thing I’ve observed in my life. It came to my mid recently as I have been studying about life. Here I dare to share with you. It is fascinating to see how, as my body and I get older, we seem to be more and more going our […]
Ah, Halloween is almost upon us. I’ve always suspected this particular celebration was created for the witches and ghosts thousands of years ago as part of an agreement with some Celtic god in exchange for leaving the living alone for the rest of the year. Usually, it’s nothing but fun for the kids who dress […]
There are two parts of my growing writing career (quite besides everything else I’m involved in). One is writing exciting novels (he says hopefully) and the other is my poetry writing, of which I’m honoured to say many readers seem to like. The history of Mark Kloss’ writing ran something like this: the odd poem in the wilder years of teenage experience from about 14 years […]
I am in Clearwater currently, a small town in Florida. Recently I was twelve floors up in my hotel blissfully listening to a beautiful song through my headphones while looking over the bay. The hotel has huge glass windows, and I take great pleasure watching the sun, water, boats and birds. Watching the many birds flying […]
By now I hope you have had the chance to read (and dare I say enjoy) my first book of poems – “It’s a Funny Thing, Life”. Maybe you are even looking forward to reading my next poetic delve into life. Therefore, I am proud to announce that my second poetry book, “Moon Dreams” has […]
As you might or might not know, after three months in the USA, I’m back. Within that time abroad, amongst other things, I managed to write enough poems straight from my soul to put together another poetry book entitled: This Curious Life. My wonderful illustrator has just completed her work and now the book is at the formatter. All in preparation […]
A few weeks ago, my wife and I travelled to Ireland to spend a long weekend with a couple of American friends there on holiday, to experience the mystic of the Emerald Island. There we were lucky to be blessed with sunny days and only a few calm Irish clouds. We climbed some small mountains and walked […]
