I really like the message of the poem and how it is conveyed---the first and fifth couplets are especially powerful---though I feel like the second, third, and fourth couplets are a bit redundant as they are all kind of saying the same thing, just in different ways. You could possibly truncate those to make the message of the poem a bit more succinct. Other than that, the poem is perfectly fine the way it is, but I think it would be interesting to see how you could take the current direction of the poem with seasonal and weather metaphors and develop it further.
