Under the cherry blossoms

It’s National Poetry Month! The cherry blossoms are in bloom at the university, so it’s fitting to choose a haiku by Kobayashi Issa.

Under the cherry blossoms
strangers are not
really strangers

The blossom is so lovely. Great to note the activity of the bystanders and those just passing by!
