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”.

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.
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 “dreary”.
Dreary eyes scan a sunless airspace.
Gray clouds suffocate skyscrapers.
A drizzle of rain slicks cement, steel, and glass.
Cityscape comprised of pulverized dreams.

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.

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.
