North Wind Poems - Poems about North Wind

Boreas by John William Waterhouse 1902 Oil on Canvas

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 have a porcelain face and that I never smile.
This is

An Ill North Wind

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

Winter's Blossom

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 because it stands alone 
It stands upon an icy throne
For

North Wind X Fallen Leaves

They say the north wind
       it doesn't blow enough but
         ask the fallen leaves  ...

Playing With the North Wind

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.

How Winter Goes

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 her to text me 
Mothers Recipe 
For Sweet Cornbread

Mother would

The North Wind

When the north wind blows, and the aroma is quite bleak
Be careful with the push, you might get more than a squeak

The North Wind

Killer of dreams
—the moment says goodbye

(Pine Ridge South Dakota: July, 2009)

North Wind

blowing in from north
she has eagle-like stature
takes over quickly

North Wind

north wind
winter  whispers
night warble

The Daughter of the North Wind Sings In Soprano

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 in broken chords

she bestrides
a clouded steed colored mother-of-pearl  
flowing

Blows the North Wind

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 going on,
my hope for sunlight, soft and warm,
to rid me

North Wind

whistling
alone in the house

Under the North Wind

Haiku 14

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

Boreas God of the North Wind

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 Trojan mares
fathered the swift, wind-shaped stallions
for him

he found
King of Athens’
daughter,
