Wintry, Frosty Air of Night

About 3 days out of they work week a friend sends me a "word of the day". My job is to somehow use it creatively in a form of literature, a sentence, or clever wordplay, but usually poetry. The following poem is from the word critique. Not perfect, but I really like it all the same.

pale blue moon that shines so bright,
wintry, frosty, air of night
will you ever go away?
but alas I know you won’t today.
though you chill my bones so cold
and feel that I am getting old

I will survive, for all is well

thou goest, bitter air, to hell
I am not scared or filled with fright
oh wintry, frosty, air of night
for in my mind, a glowing fire
with one I love of beauty higher.
and though I am so far away
and have to leave and cannot stay
my love for her is still unique
it's something that you can't critique
for I will love her for all time
and maybe someday make her mine

yet 'til that day, I face your plight
oh wintry, frosty air of night

  1. I'm pretty sure you need to include many more of the word of the days. Such as the one with bill gates and steve jobs
