Very well said, AlCreator. I wonder how many writers follow your thoughtful advice.
Loved the following lines:
Advice no short-cut, refer no miracle for motivation
Announce nothing as the last word
Just one thing -- is there a typo in:
Write for man manly (mainly instead of manly?)
Well done.

Very well said. You write as I imagine you would speak- open, honest but still with kindness and compassion. You obviously feel very passionate about spreading joy through writing and I heartily commend that. Great words, thanks for sharing x

An all-encompassing free verse in sage couplets that really brings home a number of honorable and well-stated cornerstones of writing...ones that many may want to print and post near their computer. :) :) ;) :) Thanx for sharing! :) :)

This easy flowing, thought filled poem evokes thoughts of a writer's Ten Commandments.
It's thoughtful and provocative.
I only saw one small item (SPAG)
''...Write for man ma(i)nly ???
I did enjoy, in particular:
'Forecast never in summations'

A wonderful letter you wrote to yourself. I would write many of the same things. My greatest aim is love as the Bible has stated. The Bible says I clang aloud in the wrong ways without it. I appreciate what you had to say here today. Thank you very much!

So much truth in so few words within the lines of this poem. Writers would do well to heed such truth. Words can bring hope, happiness and peace, or be used to cause despair, sadness, and strife. These are my favorite lines:
Word, as if writing to God
Arrange alphas, as if speaking to Almighty God
Say to protect and promote humanity
Never lie on priority
Project to cause human welfare
Use His gifts righteously for ever
Great job with this work. Enjoyed!

The author should always be true to himself and his readers. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good reads. There is very good imagery.

In other words, be kind in your writing. Words are food for the soul. Books for learning. Writing from the heart makes the piece real. "Be yourself, simple, kind and unpretending." Well written my friend. I love colour, I need colour in my life, not black and white. And so all my poems are set in the colours of the land. Happy Christmas. XXK.

This series of couplets is sage advice for any writer.
Yes, "Write for a thousand years" -- that is, "for the ages" (not spend a thousand years writing, as some reviewers seem to have thought). This is my favorite line.
"Speak incoherent nothing" -- might better be "Speak incoherently nothing" (in keeping with your style in this post).
"Advice no shortcut..." -- I think you meant the verb "Advise" rather than the noun. Yes, cutting corners yields less than the best outcome.
Superb, and aptly illustrated.
