I’m not fond of reading poetry, but I like to write it.
I was looking for a February poem and stumbled across a fun poetry style. The poem is called “28 Word Poem for February.” What a clever idea. Here it is.
“Freezing
cold winds,
biting chills, and
white snow fluffed hills
Valentine’s day, oh how gay!
presidents’ day is coming our way.
February, sweet and small, greatest month of all.”
Eric Lies, "28 Word Poem for February"
I wanted to write a poem about February. Of course, since it is a leap year, my poem has 29 words. I titled it “A Recipe for February in 29 Words.”
Start with a rodent,
Add a dash of love.
Toss in a president
or two.
Mix it with cold and snow
and just a dash of spring.
It's February!

That was quick and fun! Why not write your own 29-word February poem and share it in the comments. I’ll also post this on my Facebook page, and you can leave your poem there too. If you need a fun project for a group, this would be perfect. Everyone can be a poet.
