first cherry blossoms

first cherry blossoms 
just about visible, almost
the colour of snow

first [cherry] blossoms (hatsu hana) [mid spring]

 

 

Note:- Traditionally, a renku "blossom verse" is required to include either the word "blossoms" (hana in Japanese) without naming the type (always considered to mean "cherry blossoms") or the term "cherry blossoms" (in Japanese, sakura by itself is enough). Today, many non-Japanese renku people accept all terms here including the word "blossoms*"—and other spring-blossoming ornamentals, such as "apricot blossoms", "apple blossoms", and so on. —wjh
