About the host:
Marje and I have known each other for years. We met on the blogs and connected over syllabic and free style poetry. We both love fantasy and crystals, too!
The #TankaTuesday poetry challenges strengthened our love of poetry, giving us the opportunity to try different syllabic forms. Marje has published several books of poetry, all available on Amazon.com and Amazon.uk. Marje also shared:
I am thrilled to say that two of my poetry collections, (Mr. Sagittarius and Lockdown Innit,) have been requested by prestigious libraries in the UK: The British Library, The Bodleian Library Oxford University, the Cambridge University Library, National Library of Scotland, National Library of Wales and Trinity College Dublin for Legal Deposit.

Do What You Love – Fragility Of Your Flame: Poems, Photography and Flash Fiction by M J Mallon
My Recommendation: Do What You Love is a fantastical journey between the author and the three sisters of fate told in poetry and prose. Many of the reminiscences are autobiographical, sharing memories and photographs accompanied by poetry and short prose pieces.
In this gentle journey from her past, present, and future, Mallon weaves together the poetic threads of her life influenced by the three sisters of fate: Atropos, Clotho, and Lachesis. She shares with them many conversations about meeting her husband, what it was like living in Scotland, and later her life in Cambridge, featuring stories about her children and her own sentimental stories of growing up.
It’s Mallon’s nature photos and poetry that always send me to far-off lands filled with the beauty of Autumn. Watch for one of my favorites, the flash fiction piece called, “A New Harvest.”
A lovely read that leaves you reminiscing about your own past, present, and future.
