Like a Yo-Yo, Yo!<\/h2>\n

\"Donnie<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to be a swinger\/Til you wrapped me round your finger . . .\u201d Who can forget inspired lyrics like those by Joe South\u2014or the singer who sang them to Hit status in 1971? (BTW: It was not Yo-Yo Ma.)<\/p>\n

June 6th was National Yo-Yo Day. (Sorry for being tardy, I was so busy bopping to that oldie but goodie Donnie Osmond version, and twining vines around my backyard arbor, I completely forgot to post this prompt.) But, just like a Yo-Yo, I\u2019m back!
\n\"Yo-Yo.jpg\"Take a moment to ponder YO-YO. Who could have ever imagined how, with the flick of a finger, one could make a disc roll up and down on a string* thus providing endless hours of entertainment, inspiring more than one hit song, and now, if you\u2019re game, poetry!<\/p>\n

Write a YO-YO poem. It can be about a YO-YO, playing with a YO-YO, feeling like a YO-YO\u2014up and down about something? Or, sure, YoYo Ma. Roll the sounds of it around in your mouth for a while and see what comes of it, Yo!<\/p>\n

\n

Set the timer for 7 minutes.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Start writing!
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t think about it too much; just do it. <\/strong><\/h3>\n
