drowsy polar bears
yawn in glacial snow-rimmed den
arctic storm alert

howling  artic  gusts
startle doves in ice blitz pines
frozen boughs cold snap!

window  frames rattle
wooden huts quake in harsh climes
close knit folks huddle

winter sun burns ice
storm force gales melt and mellow
creatures free to roam

reindeer  sleigh dots sky 
children’s starry-eyed rapt gleam
carols thaw  dense fog
