And...

Carpe Diem Special #28 
Onitsura's Cherry Flowers

saku-karani miru-karani hana no chiru-karani

the cherry-flowers bloom;

we gaze at them;
they fall, and ...
(c) Onitsura


Inspired by Onitsura and Blyth's comment I've come up with:

cherry's lost petals
saying their last pray to God
returning to ground

through falling petals 
playful gusts of April wind -
open eyes see more

light urging me in -
leading to the House of Lord,
pink petals carpet

March 24th prompt - moisture

legs slipping on mud -
moisture from storm scented air
surprising my lungs

  8. Lovely. I really got the sense of moisture/damp in the last haiku.
