Out of Standard: Eskimo

Greetings Garden Dwellers.  

Welcome back to Out of Standard, where I will set before you a challenge to defy the conventions of a particular theme.  I will call upon you to write out of the standard and find new places in the everyday.  Let’s move onward to December’s challenge...

With Ole Man Winter slowly boring down on the northern hemisphere, today’s challenge will revolve around one word and one word only: 

Es·ki·mo   n. pl. Eskimo or Es·ki·mos A group of peoples inhabiting the Arctic coastal regions of North America and parts of Greenland and northeast Siberia.

The claim that Eskimo languages have an unusually large number of words for snow is a widespread idea often used as a cliché when writing about how language may keep us more or less alert to the differences of the natural world. In fact, the Eskimo languages have about the same number of distinct word roots referring to snow as English does, but the structure of these languages tends to allow more variety as to how those roots can be modified in forming a single word

The Out of Standard Challenge:

For your challenge today, my muddy buddies, I am asking that you write a poem using the word Eskimo but do not reference snow (or any adjective there of). Remember the further you stretch yourself from the norm, the better the result will be.

KEEP IN MIND 

Like every challenge, your poem must by newly written for this challenge and not one which you have previously written which conveniently fits the theme.   

So go on, my lovelies...and us back something shiny and new!
