I love winter and snow
Here are two links with lists of poems on winter that you might want to look through. I looked through half of the poems on the first link and the longest poem was only 24 lines long.

I’d suggest Robert Frost. Particularly I’d recommend "Stopping by the Woods".

Or,
Letter from Someplace Warm
The skyline lights fall like gentle rain
In drops and dribbles across city scape.
It’s early winter, getting cold
Freezing fast, more ice to scrape.
The sidewalks are covered in grains of salt
In preparation for the coming snow.
The last birds winging south overhead;
The squirrels scrounge the last nuts to stow.
It’s winter in the northeast;
The birds left me behind.
I’m not a skier or a sledder,
But I guess I don’t really mind.
There’s hot chocolate in my mug
And this year I have a warm winter coat.
I got my snow tires put on early
And the letters that you wrote.
You say that it’s warm where you are
And I don’t begrudge you that,
But your smugness is kind of annoying
And, by the way,
…your swimsuit pictures make you look fat.

By that other great northeastern poet, Nathan Smith, aka ‘Trollnate’. (Sorry about the gratuitous plug.)
