The guardian of the winter stood
with frock of frost and grafted wood.
A witches' wand he wields in hand.
The master of his winter land.
Kudos!! I love that in just a handful of words you have painted such a vivid and ominous picture! I think this is very skilful, I love the third line as well, the rest of the poem tells me a little about who this figure is (the guardian of winter) but that he has a witches wand tells me that perhaps he's just been battling a witch and is triumphant. Or maybe he was once a witch, before he was the guardian of winter. It really gives a lot of depth to this figure
good work!
