Sacrilege not to write
Facilities available on the 'net
Community so pleasant
Boosts one's presence
Personal challenge
Righteous satisfaction
Opens up new horizons
which otherwise remain dormant
Never a writer but appreciated poetry
Now a discovery writing daily
Time well spent albeit sedentary
But can one be faulted
Remaining in the shadows
Lamenting life's woes?
(55 words)
Written for Gay's hosting at d'Verse on Poetic Movements and
Manifesto in writings and shared with G-Man's Friday 55
Geez look at you go with all in one, nicely done. A discovery that will always take hold
ReplyDeleteGood one Hank. I can see you enjoy your daily write and it is Friday in this part of the world as well!
ReplyDeleteI wish I can write daily but I can't ha ~ But I agree with you that it does open up new horizons ~
ReplyDeleteHank...

It's so nice to see you back
Loved your writing 55
Thanks for playing, thanks for visiting
and have a Kick Ass Week-End
good reasons Hank...i can specially relate to the first one...
ReplyDeletesometimes it does feel a shame not to write and I can see how a community can help to boost one.
ReplyDeletei dunno...the shadows are not a bad place to be...
ReplyDeletei def like to challenge myself with new things in writing...
writing is a daily discipline to me...capturing a bit more
of the world...
Challenge and satisfaction and community...all good things! I think it is ok to remain in the shadows, if that's where you want to be...sometimes I prefer it...smiles Hank...Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you answered this in 55. Very well said, and grateful to you for including the dVerse community in your construction. I always enjoy your work and am grateful that you have become a poet. Thanks for linking...G.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, there is a very supportive community for writers. We are fortunate to be part of it.
ReplyDeleteGlad we share this community! Though we all linger in our own shadows contemplatively sometimes

if you wanted hits, this is its. It seems one who writes so playfully won't be committed to lamenting.
ReplyDeleteremaining in the shadows... good question, Hank ~
ReplyDeleteah yes...it surely opens up new horizons... a good reason to write is to discover for me as well...and the community on the web..most pleasant indeed
ReplyDeleteIt's good to get ones feelings down in poetry Hank, Excellent write and message too.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Nice to have you as part of the poetry community, Hank! Writing is time well spent indeed.
ReplyDeleteI agree that being and feeling part of a community greatly helps. I also like the idea of exploring new horizons. It is never too late to do that.
ReplyDeleteGot to love this community of fellow peeps and the horizons it opens up for all of us.
ReplyDeleteI always appreciate your work, Hank! So many words for me to go thru with Google :)x ~ Evoked a respect the dedication!
ReplyDeleteYou are bang on, man of few words, & each of them is golden, and this is the third 55 I have stumbled onto out here on the poet's trail; just pushes me harder to shift from opus to brevity on this fab Friday; thanks.
ReplyDeleteHank thanks for your comments on How I Cope With Adversary.
ReplyDeleteHaving had to take medication for 28 years taking it comes naturally. Plus life has been stressful of late causing more seizures.Don't get me wrong I am not negative but life is not a bed of roses just now. Appreciated your concern.
Yvonne.
Challenge and satisfaction – I think you’ve struck on two of the reasons why I write. And that makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something with my day – a nice feeling.
ReplyDeleteAH. how can we ever refrain from writing... once hooked...
ReplyDeleteCommunity and personal satisfaction...righteous reasons to write...as for shadows, I like 'em...they add atmosphere to the joint.

I write daily in a journal recording my thoughts in life..nice write hank
ReplyDeleteI enjoy shadows sometimes great mysteries are solved in the shadows..
Writing daily would really be a great manifesto - but seems almost impossible for me, because no matter how much I like it - sometimes I will take a backseat for ages. A cool poem.
ReplyDeleteOh, Hank, it would be sacrilege for YOU not to write. Loved this manifesto... I logged on too late to Linky mine, but I wrote and posted anyway.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that you never considered yourself a "writer." Honey, you were born to do this. Thank God for blogging, so we can keep sane! Peace, A
A very cool manifesto. Well done! :-) Keep writing, feed that muse.
