with frock of frost and grafted wood. agree with the others on grafted. 
A witches' wand he wields in hand. witch's
The master of his winter land. agreed also with the 2nd use of "winter" - "frozen" would work, but look for your own solution

Notes/Original
Notes: I looked over the "new poet mistakes," and it looks like I have made a few XD.  But this one felt inspiring to me. I was thinking I could change "wand" to "want." My mom says this is a good poem and helped me to revise it from the original. I'll post it below for reference sake. I tried to be subtle in the imagery, making the reader ponder (but hopefully not too long) about what exactly I'm talking about, and then hopefully see a little majesty and personification in a child's creation.

My goal is to keep my poems short, simple and convey the message powerfully and memorably in as few words as possible.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

The guardian of the winter stood,
Frocked in frost and grafted wood.
With witches wand to wield in hand,
The master of his winter land.
