Tanka...Happy New Year 謹賀新年 2018

寒郷の凍ゆる玻璃のおかれたる梅が枝みれば花の芽ふきて

cold hometown--

icy crystal over 
plum branches

to look,

flowers already budding

Thank you for the reply.

under thick ice
bare plum branches
budding...
the new hopes
for this year

deep winter
plum branches whisper
spring, spring, spring
