You have captured with your words exactly what writing means to me. Besides providing insight with my words, I also strive to make people happy with my poems, as happy as it makes me to write them. Good luck in the contest.

Hello Friend,
I am so pleased my 5/7/5 poem resonates with you.
I also tend to want to make people "happy with my poems," but I also hope my writing instills reflection on a number of levels...
Bottom line: I love to write, as do you!
Thank you for your excellent rating and thoughtful review!

A very nice five-seven-five prompt entry. We writer wanna-bes feel that everything we write is somehow better than another's writing. I find that rarely my writing is better than someone else's. I do feel however, your submission is quite possible better than mine. Best wishes.

Nice! Good use of the 5-7-5 form. It works well and makes sense. The image and presentation are complementary to the poem. Good luck in the contest. Thanks for sharing this.

Comment from Mary Hollingsworth
Yes we do. How well said in so little words. Writer, we as writers set the atmosphere for what we want the reader to feel and if we're good at what we do we can make them feel joy, peace, sadness, sympathy or whatever moid we want to project. Good piece writer and very true.

Yes, short and meaningful of course. At times it just a few words one needs to wake up minds and underline a point of course. Well done. Come back my way and to others care to know what else you have to say, smiling at you.

Comment from Joy Graham
Dear Mystery Poet,
I love your picture and title and had to check out your post. Your syllables are fine for the 5-7-5 syllable requirement. Your message certainly compliments writers. Though I had hoped for something more beefy. Your simple style here will probably go a long way once I have time to absorb your message more throughout my day. Often times simple is better. Best wishes to you in the contest.

Hello Joy!
I do tend to navigate to "simple!'
After I wrote my little offering, I thought of this:
Writers fuel the flames
of thoughts, words, and emotions
to ignite insight...
But...I favored the idea of sowing seeds...and I also believe insight is often more imparted than ignited...
Thank you for your excellent rating and thoughtful review...

With but seventeen syllables you have strewn seeds that wil conjure up thoughts of what little strings of words can impart of thoughts and emotions and thereby impart insight. Well done and good luck

This 5-7-5, A Writer's Purpose, has the correct format and gives a positive spin on the writer's duty to the readers. Then there's me.

Hah, Bill!
Your review made me laugh aloud!
Your poems do, indeed, "impart insight!"
Thank you for stopping by, and for your excellent rating and review!

A clear simple definition in 5-7-5 format on what a writer plans to do with the words of a poem.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing

Comment from Alexander Vasa
Hello, I don't write these sort of poems, and as a reviewer, they can be a challenge to review, because you have to say more words about the poem than the size of the poem itself. LOL. Don't get me wrong, that's not a criticism, because I'm aware of how hard getting small is, and this one really stands out for me.
Your word choices are very deep as you talk about the nature of writing. Every writer, just because they're writing, wants to impart something to someone else, it is inherent in the task. And your analogy of planting seeds, as if words are seeds, works so well. You deserve this six-star rating and best of luck in the competition. Ana
