Using the words below (all of some), write a poem about cold without it being about weather.
bitter, magic, left, solid, machine, logo, pewter, floor, odor, mouth
Now go ahead.. you know you want to.... go on.... you can do it.... write! you might choose to write a sonnet, or a pantoum, or just five stanzas that each use two of the words. Or you might choose ten lines, each with one of the words.
Here is a starter line to use if you are stuck:
I barely remember the magic

Hi Carol, here's my noble contribution . . .
ReplyDeleteWithout mentioning winter,
I will say that its bitter magic
has left me solid as pewter
braced to the elemental machine
that will run its course over
the next few months
my wandering shoes nailed
to the kitchen floor, still I savor
the odor of snow, of wood fire,
the taste of it here in my mouth,
while outside my window
snow sculptures glaze over
in this deep freeze
we call
late January
