Poetry Practice: Word of the Day “Evergreen”

Poetry Practice: Pick a word for the day and write an impromptu poem. You can also create a list of words and write a poem for each. This practice is used to push the boundaries of a poem and force you to flex your writing skills.

For today, I have chosen the word “Evergreen”. Have a word suggestion for future poetry practices? Leave a comment below.


Tall, spiney

a twirl of ivy,

evergreen touching

frosted blue skies

a soft down of

snow below.

♬ Forest_sound of wind(857431) – Destiny

In the trees, the eyes of the night gaze,

creatures revel in the dirt and moss,

hands guiding the clouds across the sky

exposing silvers stars that glitter

in the black night. A hollow hoot of an owl

the crack of a broken twig, a silence that

envelopes the dreams of the dreamer in

the forest at night.
