In this bonus episode of the podcast Mark marks the occasion of the 365th episode of “A Poem A Day” and he talks about the experience of reciting a poem every day for a year and the fact that he has now shared just as many poems as there are days of the year. Mark also once again shares his poem “It’s a tradition” which was taken from Mark’s poetry collection ‘The Dreamer and The Dream’ which was published in 2015 by Zeloo Media.

Today I shared the 365th episode of “A Poem A Day” on my podcast “Mark The Poet – The Podcast” – meaning that there is now literally a poem to be listened to for every day of the year. A Poem A Day #365 is my poem “It’s a Tradition“, which is taken from my book of poetry “The Dreamer and The Dream” which was published in 2015. So, now that I have posted a poem for every day of the year, is that it? I have been reciting poems for a year now – starting with my first book “Poet of the Sphere”, then from “The Sound of Mark”, then from “The Eternal Boy”, and now from “The Dreamer and The Dream” – so what’s next? Huh? Well, I carry on, of course! There are still many more poems to share from my books and from my website http://MarkThePoet.Me so I will carry on doing what I have been doing until I am told otherwise. If you have listened to any of the poems that I have published on my podcast every day via Spotify, Amazon, Anchor, or on iTunes I just want to say thanks for listening and I hope you like what you hear! 😊

My Poem “Self-reflection”

Mark Hastings Poetry , , , , , , , , , , , , 
My life has always been one
of constant reinvention...
every day the man in the mirror reminds me
that you cannot move forwards
if you continue to live your life in reflection...
my life has always been one of questions,
answers, and the pursuit of mystery...
every day the voice within me
tells me to never give up, to stay true to myself,
and no matter what I do continue to be a poet
and an author of my own poetry.

We can only live our lives
by embracing what feels right at the time...
we can only see what we capture with our eyes...
we can sometimes only be free
when we are sleeping and dreaming at night...
we can only compare two sides
when we are given a deeper insight.

Some people will never truly know you,
nor ever understand why you do what you do
and sometimes that can be frustrating -
especially when you want someone to "get you",
to like you, and to want to engage with you...
some people can be drawn to people,
some people can be intimidated by people,
some people can be intrigued by people,
some people can know people
as soon as they meet them,
because they see themselves in them
as if they were their own reflection.
“Self-reflection”
