Yo-yo to 5-7-5


Yo-yo up and down
emotions set in a twirl
please break this love's string

~~*~~

Around the world high
walking the dog in panic
sleep in cradles rest

~~*~~

Back and forth frenzied
up and down decisions spun
over the falls we go

Mark, this is superb.  But you know the best thing about YO-Yo's??  You are the one that controls the string, my friend.  

Hugs,
Marina

Mark,
this is my favourite:
Back and forth frenzied
up and down decisions spun
over the falls we go.
Are you sure you're talking about yo-yo's here?
Be well

i enjoyed the same part as kethry. i also didn't feel that this was just a child's game. very nice though, i don't think i've gotten to read your work before, and i liked it.
