Suzuran

silent carillon
poisonous pale perfection
of sweet-scented bells
a green leaf in snow and ice
waving goodbye to winter

My response to Carpe Diem #1281 Suzuran (Lily of the Valley)

Today we have a classical kigo from an episode first posted in July 2015.  Chèvrefeuille has challenged us to create a tanka inspired by Suzuran (Lily of the Valley).
