Wow, I've never heard of the Whitney before, life is for learning. I liked your poem, it reminded me of a long haiku. :)

Trees in Winter (Whitney)

Trees in Winter


Trees begin

Their winter sleep

Stripped bare

Of their gold leaves.

I wonder

If they shiver

During winter's cold evenings?

not rhyme. Lines 1, 3, and 5 consist of 3 syllables;
lines 2, 4, and 6 consist of four syllables, while the
seventh and final line has seven syllables in it.
