Manifesto-Shamanifesto

I write to order the storm

I write to save myself

I write to know 

what I think

and what I feel

I write the way NASA sends signals into space

offered up

without expectation

This is for dVerse, where Gay asked us to come up with a writing Manifesto.  I don't know if this is quite a manifesto, but it's why I write, mostly.

Sunday Scribblings #257 - Manifesto

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!
