Word of the Week: Manifest

                                                    
Make a wish.
                               
Align it with your life.
                               
Never give up!
                           
Imagine and savour the outcome. 

Feed your dreams with optimism and light.
                                
Expect the unexpected.

Seek like-minded people.
                            
Triumphant!
                          


 ***


Manifest: Also my suggestion for this week's OSI prompt.

I hope you will also stop by over at OSI  to enjoy all the other interpretations of this prompt.

                Manifest: one of my favorite words and things to do!

I like this poem and the way it is written too. Manifest is a good word to think about.

Key to dreams to come true!

Thank you for wonderful prompt

A life affirming acrostic.

Lorraine said...

I love this so much, I wish I could but what if what you want might hurt someone, can you wish for the best outcome possible?

The Poet said...

Excellent prompt, Geraldine.
Very inspiring words.

Paz said...

I loved it! I'm going to write it on my Appreciation Journal!
Have a wonderful and joyful day!

Geraldine said...

Hi Joe, I haven't written an acrostic poem in a very long time. I thought "manifest" was a perfect word to try another one!

Hi PB, Welcome to HB and thanks so much.

Hi Harshad,It certainly can be, I agree. Glad you liked this prompt.

Hi Tony, Thanks Tony, nice to "see" you again my friend.

Hi Lorraine, That's a difficult question Lorraine. I know that wishing something and hoping to manifest it can be very powerful, I've seen it happen many times in my own life and not always what was best, in the big picture, when I look back. I think we, as the old saying goes have to "be careful what you wish for" for ourselves and for others. Something to certainly consider, thank you.

Hi Andy, Welcome Andy and thanks so much.

Hi Paz, I don't often write down my posts/poems from my blogs elsewhere, but you've inspired me to do just that. Great idea. Prompts around our homes and thoughts to dwell on etc can be so helpful. I hope my poem is for you too!

I will be around to visit all of you in the next couple of days, can't wait to see what you've done with "manifest".

Wishhing you a Happy Week, G :<)

A gorgeous way to explain manifest Geraldine. Gorgeous!

Jim said...

Hi Geraldine, I like your acrostic form. My favorite line is "Seek like-minded people" although often it seems that "like minds attract".

Thank you for the nice prompt. I did a light little acrostic for you. I promise that it was a surprise that you did also. :)

Wonderful acrostic with a good message.

Geraldine said...

Hi Margie, I'm so glad you did! Thank you.

Hi Robert, Oh that's so nice of you to share. I hope it's helpful for your son. Thank you.

Hi Teri, I always like acrostic poems I read at other blogs, thought I'd give it a whirl here and this was the happy result. Glad you liked it friend.


Hi Jim, I can't wait to see what you did, I'll be over soon. Thanks and nice to "see" you again.

Hi Madeline, It is a good message for me too. I'm going to copy and post this one near my desk so I can read it every day. Sometimes I need the reminder!!!

Thanks so much for your kind words, most appreciated. I will be around to visit soon if I haven't got there already! Love to see all the different interpretations from OSI.

Hugs, G
