it disappears
as soon as I point it out—
winter rainbow

We have entered the micro-season of “The Rainbow Hides Unseen”. This is the first micro-season of the mini-season Minor Snow. All the micro-seasons within Minor Snow are:
The Rainbow Hides Unseen (Nov 23 - Nov 27)
The North Wind Brushes the Leaves (Nov 28 - Dec 01)
The Tachibana First Turns Yellow (Dec 02 - Dec 06)
To celebrate this season, we will learn about rainbows and what “rainbow hides” might mean. Then we read rainbow-themed haiku by both modern and classical Japanese poets. Full post in our blog.
