May I suggest "tulip bulbs' burst"? Also "cymbals" (sp.). I suggest changing "clattering" and "calamity"; they seems to undercut the mood you've created. Also, "seaward" in place of "to sea". "Unfurl leaves" is cliche, even worse than some of my phrasing. Perhaps hop on the dressing or clothing metaphor. The last stanza especially needs work. The alliteration is good through the whole; at times I thought it veered near excessive, but I actually think it just hasn't been fully incorporated so it sounds natural.

I think this is definitely a good start, and that you've got something well worth the time for editing.
