White canopy did
not survive first winter's snow—
weeping cherry tree

One regal tulip
coronets its two-inch stem—
bulbs planted too late


A four-fold lilac
blossom on unfurled buds—
promises to keep

Red-wing blackbird, still,
on a single twisted wire—
solemn guard-at-arms

Thanks a lot, Michael san,
I added the tulip one to the database, for the others, I have to make a
special entry first.
