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.


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!
