Seagull Shaman

Knowing the

fish beneath

the waves hide

from her beak,

she prays for 

forgiveness.

Instinct drives

her act of

contrition.

One day someone will review my work. They may even like it. 

"Karian Markos is a pretty cool and modern lady."

F.M. Markos, Daughter #1

Some real reviews coming soon...

For now, I'll tell you what my kids think of me.

‘Karian Markos is a very nice, funny and cool person.’

 

M.M. Markos, Daughter #2

My kids are tough critics.

 “Mommy is the best, best, best, best.”
