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.
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!

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.

Death Always
comes knocking
whether we want it to or not
creeping closer with each passing second
ready to embrace us in our last breath.
The events of this week have left me emotionally drained and exhausted. Kenosha, Hurricane Laura, everything. I am trying to stay positive, read more, exercise, and take care of my health but it’s so much work right now with everything going on. I can’t give up. I have to keep hope for the future. Here’s a small poem, because I don’t have the energy to go into detail about the brutal shootings in Kenosha and the protests. It’s heart-breaking.
