The rusty blackhaw bloomed today
Just prior to the month of May
Five stamens nigh five petals rose
Of panicles in white array
The leaves are velvet green beneath
Un-rusted and uneaten yet
Above a longhorn beetle feeds
On pollen covering up its head
The oaks nearby have fully leafed
Though flaccid and lethargic still
With yellow tinting everywhere
Awash in springtime chlorophyll
