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

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.
