You could use a repetitive structure like:
Farewell to fires warm,
Farewell to wind and storm,
Farewell to sleets and snows,
Farewell to frozen toes.
And then maybe follow up with:
Hello to longer days,
Hello to solar rays,
Hello to birds that sing,
Hello to flowers of spring.
It doesn't have to rhyme, though, and the higher your grade level, the less simplistic you would want it to be.

Decide whether you want the poem to feel upbeat and happy or melancholy sad. Then take the images of winter and use descriptive or symbolic language to induce the reader to feel what you feel about the passing of winter.

Ideas? Picture the things associated with winter. Cold; dreary; white blanket of snow; lifeless; et al. OR hot cocoa; crackling fire; mountains steeped in white beauty; ...Once you get a picture of what it looks like, then begin to imagine it all in sentences. Good luck.

I like the image of snowdrops. They are part of winter and of spring. So, are they the first heralds of spring, or, being white are they the funerary flowers of winter?
