tulips bend & open
so gracefully you barely notice
that they’re dying

For the record, the unused OED word of the day is 'optant.'

Your Jeopardy question from a few days ago also hit the spot, as have so many others, but one hesitates to over-comment...

Ah, Roger, DO comment all you want! :)

Glad these worked for you!
