The daily poetry prompt here on the Bain Books Daily Poem blog is now and forevermore known as the [drumroll] Daily Red Wheelbarrow because so much may or may not depend upon it. I do this primarily to motivate and activate myself, but there may be some benefit in it for the world (or even for you). So let’s get started.

Today’s Red Wheelbarrow is:

write a poem about “the shortest month” (which may or may not be February, depending on what sort of poem you choose to write)

You may use the daily poem prompt as you wish. I do not hold you accountable for it, nor do I take any credit for you writing or not writing a poem (or other literary enterprise) that you should or would or can derive from it.

I would ask that if you write a poem (or novel or epic or help manual) using said prompt, and if you post your work to the inter-web, that you link back to this prompt’s permalink address, indicating that you found the prompt here promptly (promptishly?).
