Today’s Red Wheelbarrow:
Anybody who’s ever done it knows there is more to it than just shaking a pan around in the murky water… definitely an art… and done artfully, and can be very rewarding. Most people today who are panning for gold aren’t generally doing it for the money… which is another reason to consider it an art. But really I just want it to be the RW today, and I’m trying to justify my selection. Nevermind. I don’t have to do that, do I? What I have to do is write. So I’ll do that.

Today’s Red Wheelbarrow:
It’s “Lost Arts Found” week here at the daily poem. I’ve taken the easy way out so far with quiltmaking and knitting… can I dig a little deeper? I’ll have to go sit in the wayback machine for a minute… aha, I’ll take one from my “master drawing techniques” class oh so very long ago, and come to you with the art of silverpoint. Literally, silverpoint is drawing with silver… a meticulous method of drawing that is not always so very rewarding… but a quick search on the interwebs shows us that the art still exists, and therefore must be due for a comeback… and if not a comeback, perhaps a poem. Blessings.

Today’s Red Wheelbarrow:
Near the Rocket bakery where I sometimes write, there’s a yoga studio, and when a yoga class is released, a great number of the attendies make their way into the Rocket (I don’t think it’s strictly a women’s studio, but I haven’t seen any men coming out of there, so in my heart they are the yoga ladies). So it occured to me this morning that there was a great deal of meat on the bones of that idea, and that I could and should write about the yoga ladies, and though you haven’t experienced these specific women, I bet you can use your imagination for more than a place to put your lid and come up with something glorious.

You probably come here because you need a place to begin… something to kick you in the pants… well, that’s why I’m doing this for myself… to kick myself in the pants… so maybe… there you have it… write a poem from that topic or title or idea: kick in the pants.

Today’s Red Wheelbarrow:
I’ve been thinking about “how-to” and “do it yourself” stuff lately, and how often I refer to them, and I was wondering how many of y’all have written a poem in the form of a how to? Perhaps you could start today. Any how to will do (in a pinch). Even “how to write a poem.” Especially if you have no idea how to write a poem. That is exactly the kind of how to I love. In which the person writing discovers something unexpected in the process. So get started. Discover. Go.

The street sweeper is sweeping the streets. The street sweeper keeps the dust down. The street sweeper is responsible for fewer dust storms in our area. Is the street sweeper not worthy of a poem? The street sweeper is: street sweeper.

Today’s Red Wheelbarrow:
There is something intriguing about the idea of the language you speak as a child, that you grow up with and learn and communicate with first, as a mother. I therefore ask you to explore this idea in poetry, with a few words about your mother tongue.
