Poetry Challenge #33-Yes You Can!

Sometimes, we just need permission. Someone to say “Yes!” Do it! Try it!....Don’t do it!

YES! You can leave the dishes until morning.

YES! You can spend a few hours reading.

Yes. Yes! YES!

Here’s the secret:

You don’t always need to wait around for someone else to say, “yes”.

Permission can come from YOU!

Poetry Challenge #33

“Yes, You Can!”

With “Yes, You Can” as the title, write a poem giving someone (or something)—maybe yourself—permission to be naughty, mischievous, daring—in other words, to do something he, she, it—YOU—would never, ever do.

As this poem is a celebration of possibility, use flowery, colorful, provocative language.

And, if you’re in the mood to be extra daring, give permission to go all out by having every line begin with “Yes, You Can” . . .

Set the timer for 7 minutes.

Start writing!

Don’t think about it too much; just do it.
