If you're after a prose poem, you need to be more precise and detailed in your description. Precise, because you can't have 'frost' and fireflies, frogs, and crickets in the same season. Detailed, because' nocturnal creatures' is a cop out.
You can't have lines like my mind comes alive with awe and wonder in a poem. It tells nothing of interest to the reader, although it may be of interest to you. If you want to hold the reader's interest, you have to show him how your mind comes alive, etc.
