Ume



Long awaiting sight: blooms of Ume!
On the back of the mirror,
A spring unseen,
A flowering plum-tree.

What a cheerful sight. I'm not clear though, is it already flowering or are you still waiting? Is it yours?
Lovely Haiku too.

Not mine Mara but flowering beautifully in the garden we visited yesterday.
