Poetry Practice: Word of the Day “Gale”

Poetry practice: create a list of words with a theme, pick a word of the day and write an impromptu poem. For today, I have chosen “gale”.


Gale strong dancing across

An ocean. a torrent whirls underneath

the surface, a pelican-struck wave crests

White foam frothing, a fish squirms, captured

Inside gullet. Feathers skim the water

And rise, up, up, higher disappearing into

A thin mist. A forceful wind whips 

And twirls toward the shore.


This practice is used to push the boundaries of a poem. Have a word suggestion? Leave a comment below.

Have a wonderful day and thank you to all of my subscribers!

Best,

Alina
