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: 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.
Cold bites and nibbles on exposed flesh,
gnawed blue, chilled and shaking
skin clings tighter to the muscles, the bones
as a soft white down of snow begins to fall.

A coldness seeps into the bones
holding its grip tight. The earth
swallows up the body to decompose.
A peaceful rest, a final end for us all.
Thank you for reading my work! I hope you return in the future!
