Sometimes the best stories are the ones that make us laugh, then quietly help us see ourselves.

“This sounds like me. Worry about everything, but you have put a different spin on it.”

“Received my pre- ordered books yesterday. Will send two to good friends. Keep one to savor over and over again.

The books are works of art and full of whimsy and wisdom as promised.

Thank you.”

The person behind the poems

Hi, I’m Marq.

I write short, silly poems for kids and the young at heart. I believe a few playful words can turn an ordinary evening into a moment worth remembering.

The Simple Poems world is full of curious creatures, gentle surprises, and the kind of wonder that belongs to every age.
