An early bloom this year
anxious to get going
new reasons from an old premise
old enough for lichen to take hold
a synthesis of ideas forming on the surface
one word for the color and the scent and the flower and the tree
unbowed
darts of shaved ice, rattling the blossoms to life
old and new branches will miss the bees
one will miss the saw

"One will miss the saw" - there's a lot in that one line. A well-packed poem.
Why did it get a pass from everyone?
Best wishes
You should write more poetry. You have a most unique manner of expression, and a painterly way of saying what you wish to say.
