Poetry Practice: Word of the Day “Biting”

Poetry Practice: create a list of words with a theme, pick a word of the day and write an impromptu poem. This practice is used to push the boundaries of a poem.

For today, I have chosen “biting”.

Have a word suggestion? Leave a comment below.


blustery skies swirl shaded clouds
closer and closer to a steely city.
biting the skin, a winter wind
wraps around a chilled frame.
dizzying steps toward home,
a shiver slides down the spine.
