Where Spring's Song Rings

PAD Challenge day 15: For today’s prompt, write a poem with at least four of the following eight words:
flat, ring, lavish, vessel, paper, blacklist, gaudy, tooth   

 Spring is like a verdant vessel

 Cargo-lavished with first bloom

Crepe-paper pink-purple petals

Stunning berths gaudy with plume

Beneath flat sky's fiery waking

Gaze is startled, torn between

A deck strewn with dog-tooth violets

Spilling from cups, speckled green

...or looking up to the heavens

While a new day dons its wings

...there is no blacklist in Nature

On a sea where Spring's song rings
