The daily poetry prompt here on the Bain Books Daily Poem blog is known as the Red Wheelbarrow because so much depends upon it (we think). I post a red wheelbarrow primarily to motivate and activate myself, but there may be some benefit in it for the world (or even for you), so I share here. Let’s get started.

Today’s Red Wheelbarrow goes thuswise:

Oh good grief. There are people walking around Spokane with green and gold facepaint covering nearly their entire selves. Therefore, the Red Wheelbarrow must be: march madness

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 grocery list or help manual) using said prompt, and if you post your work to the inter-web, that you link back here, indicating that you found the prompt here, because that would be cool and because maybe that would mean more people than just me and my dog get some traction out of the whole thingie (I used to call it an “endeavor,” but honestly it’s more of a thingie).

Now for some housekeeping… if you want to make sure you never miss a prompt or other Bain Books Daily Poem goodness, do this: Subscribe to the feed in a newsreader or by email [clicking the link will take you to a form where you can enter your email address that will never be shared with anybody ever ever ever, even if they twist my arm and offer free espresso drinks and generic Viagra].

If you’re feeling the love and you want to set it free, you can support the continued observation of daily red wheelbarrow promptishness and other daily poetry-itus by peeking at (and maybe buying) one of my books [You Are a Dog or We Are the Cat] or visiting or donating by PayPal:

Blessings, and thanks for visiting. The Daily Red Wheelbarrow is sponsored by dogs, cats, and Rain-glazed White Chickens^®, available at finer grocery and poetry supermarkets everywhere.
