I really like it.Your imagery is beautiful, and I love how you tell the story. I love;
"The spring snowed in its own way
and pollen dusted her hair yellow."

I'd change the last "up" to "upwards" as I think it sounds more natural, and I'd extend the last sentence as I don't think it sounds finished. I'd specify what has been plucked.

I like the simplicity of the last line.

A really lovely poem overall.
