Pro results up!!!!

Something happened to my yoyo,
Up up in the air I saw it,
Put my other yoyo in my pocket,
Errrr… Oh. I remember!
Red was my face embarrassed,
Next, I jumped for my favorite yo,
Om-nom is the character in Cut The Rope,
V2 is a scary ride at 6-flags, wait. Those were out of place.
And finnally…The End.

If you haven’t noticed, all the first letters each line of the poem sell SUPERNOVA.

Lord I am a yo-yo
And you hold the string
When I am low
You pull me up again
Sometimes it seems
You don’t pull hard
Cause I don’t go up very far
Then I hang
Suspended in time
While the string
Slowly unwinds
One day I’ll make it
To the top
Keep pulling LORD
Please don’t’ stop
Problems get in my way
The string gets a little knot
But with you in control LORD
The knot comes untied
Keep on pulling LORD
Help me to climb
This long and hard string of life
For when I’ve made it
To the top
I know I’ve made it to YOU :slight_smile:
General Yos are awesome.Peace.
Were working on poems right now in language arts!

I once asked a man,
if he was a “General-yo” man,

Trade me the “pro”!
I shout with fortitude,
I have to say “no”,
said the “general-yo dude”.

Dear oh dear,
whatever shall I do?
t’is what I fear,
t’is scenario is too blue!

You say you like General-yo,
so please take my torrent,
in exchange for your pro,
and some $$$ to pay for rent.

Footnotes__
blue = sad

I enjoy quatrains, so please excuse the weird rhymes. I’m not very creative and its my very first poem, ever.
This poem is based on a true story. An attempt of trade with dingo’s SPYY Pro. Sadly I lost, but here I am, asking for a second chance! :wink:

There once was a yo-yo named “Rover”,
One of its tricks was “roll over”,
It “walked” off a “Cliff”, and now it’s a stiff,
They found it in a patch of clover.

Yo-yo yo-yo #9
goin’ down the yo-yo line.
If the bearing falls off its tracks,
will you get your money back?

Could you ever hate a mate if he played with an 888? I think its great to know the date and batch that match a Factory throw to its own creator. Sooner or later a player may later develop and envelope a love for china though it mighta been made cheeply I deeply beleive that USA plays quite the same but its all fair game.
Or is it all about the superstars and chiefs that change beliefs towards players over equipment?

more like a rap but eh

also for general yo
I sit in a 5star hotel that smells of her Essence
Perhaps If I Hatricks* up my sleeve I Could Leave
This Torrential downpour of no more
Lovejoy and overall Entheos
like Ministars in her eyes I’ve died many times within
She’s not number one because she’s a Model Ten that men then send into their minds
and build up pride and stride over to her Majesty
but alas a trajady
For their was a KLR** that wielded a Magnum he hid under his hat pad
No doubt mad and sad
Full of Grief and Lacking peace
Though she was no more men were still yErnieing for more.

*Play on words Hatricks (Had tricks)
** KLR is pronounced “killer”

Roses are red
some yoyos are not
my yoyo comes back up with
monkey snot

Something spinning
String attached
So much fun

Yoyos are great;
Some people hate.
And I just say, “Throw on!”
And laugh in their face.

Just so you guys know, I have been reading all of these and they are very cool! :smiley:

Three-point-one-four-one-five-nine
Sitting in my room… Calculus homework
Thinking only of a hobby of mine
Some may think of me as a quirk
But I know my fun outshines thine!

I’ll write a haiku I guess…

I like playing with toys
But yoyo isn’t a toy
As I say, it’s art

Throwing yoyos like ninjas to their stars.
General-Yo so smooth you thought it was spinning from the start.
Unwind that string, make that throw sing.
Color splash ano is glistening.
Yoyo Works in the making.
The Lodge isn’t faking.
Eating Caribou while making designs by the lake scene.
YoyoJam makes the tunes bump from my speakers.
Koloski slakin over there by the bleachers.
It only takes OneDrop to ding your SPYY.
But its still smooth so they call you Guy.
Welcome to the Factory.
Superstars shine bright like astronomy.
Bomb your Squad in a quad that shoots neon string.
No knots please, might make it come back up like a bee sting.
MonkeyfingeR up your nose.
He wiped that booger on your clothes.
Push the boundries avant garde.
Everyone’s a YoyoExpert.
If you practice hard.

I’d like to throw more,
But here’s the thing,
Right now I’m too busy,
Making up string.

First post! Why has no one done a Yo-Yo Haiku yet?!

Yo-yo you yo-yo
Yes I’m trying really hard
now spin yo-yo spin!

Or just:

yo-yo yo-yo yo
yo-yo yo-yo yo-yo yo
yo-yo yo-yo yo

There have been haiku!

Every time haiku come along, I think it’s worth mentioning: having the right syllable count does not make a haiku. There needs to be a “turnaround” or a surprise. A twist, as it were… either an unexpected metaphor emerging or an unexpected result of the metaphor, or a tidy little insight that comes as a result of the previous lines…

I rarely see haiku that meet this criteria, unless written by poets.

Spinning on axis;
Tricks, knots, catches, victories…
Minutes passing by.

Not claiming to be a haiku genius or anything, but there’s a double-meaning in those 17 short syllables, and an opportunity for deeper inspection and interpretation.

This has been “Poetry Pedantry” with Greg Pettit. Thank you for tuning in. :wink:

This.

when you come into my room
there is something you will see
my entire life composed of metals, polyester, and a will
a will to have fun while compete and meet new friends
this will, this passion, is called a yoyo.
not an ordinary yoyo
not one you get for a dollar
not one you get for two
for three
for four
but for more.
This will had brought me into a community unimaginable by word of mouth
but by experiencing for yourself
the power of this passion.
the will to devote your spare time,
whirring, whirr, whirr
clang clang clang
whirr whirr whirr
a will that composes your life
of metals, polyester, and a will
a will to yoyo

General yo, general yo, I throw all day long,
General yo, general yo, I throw as I sing this song.
