“Yes, You May!”<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s May! It\u2019s May! Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, grass is growing, trees are branching out\u2014and so are we! Hooray! Hooray!<\/p>\n

Taking a cue from the musical Camelot\u2019s Lusty Month of May song, in which merrymakers prance about singing \u201cIt\u2019s May! It\u2019s May! The month of Yes, You May!\u201d we\u2019re giving ourselves permission to break a few rules.<\/p>\n

With \u201cYes, You May\u201d as the title, write a poem giving someone (or something)\u2014maybe yourself\u2014permission to be naughty, mischievous, daring\u2014in other words, to do something he, she, it\u2014YOU\u2014would never, ever do. As this poem is a celebration of May, use flowery, colorful, provocative language. And, if you\u2019re in the mood to be extra daring, give permission to go all out by having every line begin with \u201cYes, You May\u201d . . .<\/p>\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
