Rewrite the first stanza of "Scott's Goodbye" as free verse.
We saw the months of wicked weather,
As day to painful night did turn,
Waiting, huddled close together,
For the frozen sun's return.

Sure! To rewrite the first stanza of "Scott's Goodbye" as free verse, you will need to follow a few steps:
1. Understand the structure of free verse: Free verse is a type of poetry that does not follow a specific rhyme scheme or meter. It allows for more flexibility in line breaks and overall structure.
2. Analyze the original stanza: Take a closer look at each line of the original stanza to understand the meaning and imagery. This will help you maintain the essence of the poem while transforming it into free verse.
3. Retain the essence and imagery: While rewriting, try to keep the key ideas and imagery from the original stanza intact. Capture the emotions, themes, and atmosphere of the original lines.
Based on these steps, here's a possible rewrite of the first stanza in free verse:
Amidst months of wicked weather,
Day turning to painful night,
We huddle together,
Awaiting the frozen sun's return.
Feel free to adjust the line breaks and wording to create the desired effect. Remember, free verse allows you to experiment with the form and structure to convey the essence of the original piece while giving it a new expression.
