How unexpected in
the dormancy of winter --
from between the trees
I almost see them as flowers,
the snowflakes that are falling.

Original by Ki no Tsurayuki. A more delicate and visual presentation of #330's conceit. Note the implicit contrast of white flakes and black trees, and possibly also the grey sky. Compare also #184.fuyugomori
