Word of the Day “Arctic”: A Wintry Poem

Poetry practice: pick a word of the day and write an impromptu poem. For today, I have chosen “Arctic”.

Poem “Arctic World”

Iceberg crumbles

depths below reaching dark blue

abyss. Circling aquatic creatures

and arctic world among

worlds. Desolate

beautiful

cold.

This practice is used to push the boundaries of a poem and the process in which I write. Have a word suggestion? Leave a comment!

Word of the Day “Icy”: Poem “Kissing Sun”

Poetry practice: pick a word of the day and write an impromptu poem. For today, I have chosen “icy”.

Kissing Skin

Hold the words, close to barren lips

chapped and broken, bleeding

icy air kissing skin. A cloud of breath

under the starry winter sky.

Word of the Day “Glacial”: A Chilling Snowman Poem

I’m rusty and haven’t been writing as much poetry as usual. So I thought I’d start a poetry practice where I pick a word of the day and write a poem with it. Here goes.

Today’s word of the day is “glacial.”

Poem “A Snowman”

Sunk low, eyes lift and

linger across

a wintry gale.

Wandering limbs reach

to embrace a glacial

figure, carved out of,

molded into, warped,

assumed, a person,

a body?

A snowman.
