Best North Wind Poems

In riming realms 
of crystal contemplations -
frozen water-vapor meditations
and chilled flutes 
filled with zodiacal-light musings 
of ancient cosmic dust 
dancing in the arms of Sol..

windswept operatic reveries
rise and fall
as her stirring soprano
tickled by the chanting of icicle chimes
gathers momentum
in strengthening sprays
of frosted musical notes adrift...

wind god
was Boreas 
of winter and north winds
swept down from cold northern mountains
of Thrake

he blew
cold icy gusts
of breath from bloated cheeks
hair and beard spiked with ice, wide mouth
howling 

sometimes
seen as horse-shaped
purple-winged swift stallion
he swept down on mares in new spring
to sire

horses
for King of Troy
mated with...

Seasons come and go

North wind speaks to southern sky

They will meet again.

The North Wind
The North wind is released it’s his time again
He shows off his power and reaches out to men.
It’s his season now, the winter is here.
The north wind doth blow and puts us in fear.
He reaches every dark nook, and every cranny
His fingertips press...

Haiku 14

       under the north wind
       is the vast snow covered field 
       pure white blinds the eyes...

The north wind got mad and hurled his wrath
He threw the snow across the land
But it did not make him calm
He took a deep breath and blew
He blew so hard that the snow
Whirled around making it howl
It howled far into the night
He froze all within...

I was dancing along on a windy day
When the north wind began to blow me away
I loved the feeling of that, so yelled hip hip hooray!
Surprising the north wind, who had decided to play....

As the north wind keens from polar shores,
In the souls of ghosts with frozen claws
To rattle and rap on frosted panes,
Whistle through rafters and howl in drains.
Sweeping the dust of intricate lace,
Blanketing streets adrift in space,
Penguin-eyed dreamers retire to beds
With albino bats flapping storms in...

BLOWS THE NORTH WIND
From off North  Sea, a night wind cold,
reminding me of growing old,
each joint in pain, each pain held dear,
lest in the end, I die from here,
but die we must, or so I'm told.

Out of the coming of the dawn,
tomorrow's hope, life's...

the last remaining vestiges of autumn
bitter clingers
parched and weary
shriveled in dismay
harried and harassed by an ill north wind
launch into oblivion
to join the sea of lifeless carcasses
on the forest floor

The flowers of the spring are known
Throughout the land, they bloom and grow
But those that bloom when else is naught
Quietly show their beauty wrought
In winter’s grasp upon the earth
Kin’s absence is what shows their worth
The fragile winter flower’s grace
Is not that bold, nor that great
Yet...

It’s not that I am languid, more that I am chagrined.
So disappointed to be met by this dreadful north wind.
I am on my way to see him, and I will look so disheveled.
I am convinced the god Boreas is inclined to be bedeviled.

They say I...

How Winter Goes
David J Walker

This is how the winter goes

North wind blows
Runny nose
Nothing grows
Highs are lows

While 

The old folks 
Endlessly 
double-bundle
fighting off the cold

swearing next winter 
will be different  

Spent in Miami 
Spent in bundles in 
The jungles of a
Florida swamp 

Calling my sister
Asking...
