Marcoosh2
(Mark) started writing poetry at the age 13.
He says his inspiration was “My 8th grade teacher who introduced me to simple Japanese (Haiku) and I found it quite pleasant to construct the little poems.” The first poem he wrote was about “The Swallows that flew so erratic off my back porch” and he remembers that the experience was “quite fulfilling as friends and loved ones enjoyed the finished write”.
We know him as Marcoosh and Marc on AOL. He has been a regular in the Late Night Poets Chat since 2004.
He first discovered the room by haphazard fumbling and thinks it is a wonderful mix of artists in writing and also emotions. He feels that regulars there are friendly soulfood.
Marcoosh attended our first Spoken Word Happenings.
His most memorable moment from the events was getting to actually see and hear our roomies.
From the piano by Pitch Penny to discovering what in the world “A Solitary Hawk” looks like (quite wonderful actually).
His poetry has been published in Vanity and POD.
He has performed as a spoken word poet in Lowell, MA.
(his hometown) and on the web in capable chat rooms. He is currently active in his local poetry community in Meet Up groups.

(Making Contact)
–
I believe
The greatest gift
I can conceive of having
from anyone
is
to be seen by them,
heard by them,
to be understood
and
touched by them.
The greatest gift
I can give
is
to see, hear, understand
and to touch
another person.
When this is done
I feel
contact has been made.
