Boreas, the Greek God of Winter

mighty god of Frost –

even the proudest fir trees

humbly bow their crowns

Boreas

more work for reindeer –

fallen leaves adorn a fir

to mimic garlands

on a Christmas tree to please

deer, birds, squirrels, and gremlins

Waiting For Santa

Frost is chiseling

Diadems on flowers’ head

Sumptuous jewels

Beauty

When the conifer

dresses up as a snowman,

Gremlins are not far.
