The other night the Wolf Moon shone big and bright in the sky... last night, before darkness fell, the evening sky looked as if it had been painting purple... this morning the bright white moon continued to be a spectacle to behold long after sunrise - however for some reason the Moon looked more distant from Earth than it had been just two days ago, and it was at that moment that I realized that Winter had officially arrived. You can never truly know what will happen during the season of Winter - other than it will be cold, it will be wet, and occasionally it will be freezing and naturally slippery under foot... you can never truly predict how the elements will effect you, nor how testing this time will be... you can never truly know what to do, what to eat, what to wear - other than to make sure that you keep warm and think even more about the needs and the well-being of those you love... you can never truly predict what the conditions of an average Winter day will be - but you should definitely anticipate that certain things might take longer to do, you should remember to not take anything for granted, and if you have to travel somewhere you should consider whether you have everything that you need to get you from point A to point B. Winter can be full of a spectrum of moments - ranging from the stark white of a fresh snowfall to the spectacular golden light of a sunrise or a sunset... Winter can be full of beautiful stillness, especially at twilight, when the stars at night shine brighter than at any other time of the year... Winter can be full of many colours, stories, and surprises that find a way of highlighting why for many reasons Winter is when we see people at their best... Winter can be full of uncertainty - but with the help of those who truly make a difference and who matter the most Winter can be the season when hope eclipses fear.

My new book ‘Poet of the Multiverse’ – coming soon…
Hello Friends! It is my great pleasure to be able to once again announce the publication of a new book of my poetry, entitled... POET of the Multiverse! POET of the Multiverse is a collection of poems - some that can be found on MarkThePoet.Me, some that can only be found exclusively within the pages of my new book, and one or two that you may only have read if have a copy of my first poetry collection Poet of the Sphere. The intention of the poems within POET of the Multiverse is to be a celebration, of sorts. You see, it has been 10 years since I got my first book, Poet of the Sphere, published and my journey as a writer from then to now has been incredible, amazing, unbelievable, fulfilling, gratifying, and epic in so many ways. I have written 12 books since 2012 - filled with poetry, short-stories, novellas; however, no matter what I have written, poetry has always been my first love and the way that I choose to express myself and share the unfiltered inspiration within me. Since 2022 marks the 10th anniversary of the publication of my first book I decided to put together a brand new collection of poems that I hope give people an insight into who I am as a person, as a poet, as a writer, at the same time reflecting upon the poetic journey that I have been on since I first became an author. And I hope that everybody enjoys reading every verse of the multitude of verses to be found within the poems of my new book, POET of the Multiverse. The paperback version of POET of the Multiverse will be out soon, but if you cannot wait to get yourself a copy then you can get the ebook version right now for Kindle on Amazon: here I hope you like what you read! ☺ -Mark
