Does this title fit "Gods of Winds"?

a sonnet from a yap from yesteryear

To hear song birds crying as Auster weeps

and see leaves dead, bend while carried about

Dove wings flutter, cool Autumn sleeps

and skies turn gray when Boreas comes out

He'll touch all things when he finally shows

To bring a coldness, warm suns never own

Showing no mercy as his power grows

To cover landscapes, to crackle and moan

Those that are caught by Boreas chilly veil

Will face its sheer strength, so frightful and cold

To watch far sun move with its Winter sail

and seek Auster's breath as seasons unfold

I'll feel my time pass until Auster comes

and count each day till' Boreas succumbs

Roman Gods of wind

Boreas- North Wind

Auster- South Wind

    I really like this poem. You did a great job on creativity with Boreas and Auster and connecting with them to Autumn and Winter. The title suits perfectly with: Waiting on Gods of the Winds. In the last stance, you are indicating that whoever is watching the gods stirr and moveis waiting for one, Auster, to come back, and for Boreals to die. Whatever you choose, I believe you did amazing. Maybe get it published. Those who love mythical greek would want to read this.

    I like the poem, it's nice! Perhaps 'Gods of Wind' might work more so for a title, as 'Winds' feels a bit grammatically incorrect, or even 'Gods of the two winds'

    Best of luck :)

    Yes,but you can also use God of the Four Winds.
