MY YOYO

My yoyo is a marvelous thing
it climbs up and down
on its yoyo string.
I roll my yoyo
to stay in the deep,
I've taught my yoyo
how to sleep.
I toss my yoyo out
Around the World,
my yoyo can whirl,
my yoyo can twirl.
Sometimes I do 
make a mistake
the string starts to fray
and then it breaks.
So,
if you come to play yoyos
there is one thing
you can bring
it is a pocket
of extra
yoyo string.



Still, we've had no rain.
Still, the temperature is above 100 today.
Still hot winds blow
and the best way
to keep cool
is to be still.

It is so hot..., can you write your own hot or wet or dry poem today.  Just have fun writing.

Valentine

I'll make you a card
for Valentines,
Red ribbons and yarn
and maybe twine.
I'll write upon it,
Will you be mine?
when I make you a card
for Valentines.

    Do not ask me why I'm feeling so lazy today.  Maybe it has to do with the four books I checked out from the library yesterday.  Can you write a valentine to your favorite character  from a book?  Post your poem in the comments and tomorrow we can try for a poetry party.
