Presto: Manifesto
My manifesto for 2010 was this blog. It was actually inspired by watching Julie and Julia at my sister-in-law’s Christmas-ish gathering. The goal was a poem a week – 50 poems by year’s end (two weeks off). I have both kept and broken that resolution. There were times when I only had one entry in a month. But looking back I have written 51 new poems this year. And maybe 52, if I can come up with something now, so watch below:
Twenty-eleven
Write more, love more and give more-
My manifesto
For me that is a successful resolution! Yay me!
Best of luck with your 2011 manifesto.

DEFINITION: how the evil emperor's wife refers to his messy throne room.
Hahahha! Thanks Eric! And thanks for reading and the encouragement. Oh, and I love the Super-mainfesto!
ReplyDeleteI think you should call yours a WOMANifesto!
ReplyDelete(Because you put the "Woah!" in Wo-man! LOL!)

Sharp Little Pencil can't leave comments for me for some geeky reason that is beyond us. So she emailed the following, and asked that I post it:
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, Mary. Nice take on the prompt. When you write more, you love and give more to all of us. A few well-chosen words, and your manifesto is not only complete, but sublime!

And to Amy I say thank you so much!!! I appreciate all your help and encouragement.
Thank you Jingle. But, lol, YOU can do 50 poems in under three months...not sure if I can or not!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goal. If that is your real surname I am terribly in awe.I suppose your hands are glued to the harpsichord most days of the week:)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful haiku for a fantastic goal. If there is anything you can do, you do it with passion like I can see you have. Remember, regretting what hasn't happened is worse than doing nothing at all. Even if you write 15 minutes, do one haiku a day, something... Just keep the momentum going. Best of luck in 2011 and I hope to see more from you! And we are here for support as well!
ReplyDeleteRallentanda - Yes, that's my real surname. Unfortunately the only thing I can play is the radio! Thanks for the good wishes.
ReplyDeleteLeiffyV - Thank you for the encouragement and support. I appreciate it so much!
....and you did it!! Both the wonderful Haiku and a resolution for the new year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nanka!
ReplyDeleteJingly - Is this a new poem, or one that has appeared on my blog before?
