A lovely prompt to write a haiku about cherry blossoms in our mother tongue with the English translation. English is my mother tongue, so I have translated in French which is my second language and “the” language of my province. Here is my troiku about cherry blossoms.
cherry blossoms majestic and generous shade lovers kissing
cherry blossoms
budding promise
love is in the air
majestic and generous
pink showers
silken petals fall
shade lovers kissing
a love story
in spring
fleurs de cerisier des amants s’embrassent sous l’arbre imposantes et généreux
fleurs de cerisier
promesse bourgeonne
un aire d’amour
des amants s’embrassent sous l’arbre
une histoire d’amour
au printemps
imposantes et généreuses
corolles soyeuses déversent
une cascade rosée
A little bit about moi:
I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator.
I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors.
Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka.
I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other.

Lovely haiku (troiku too) especially that idea of the cherry blossoms being generous and giving away their petals. 🙂

In April the Cherry blossoms at Stanley Park in Vancouver and in Toronto at High Park are very generous.
