Spring Haiku

The following is Haiku and poetry that members of my adult conversation class wrote. I have to say I'm very impressed with their efforts. It's currently cherry blossom season in Japan, so the haiku (which is typically seasonal) is making a very timely debut! My class did a great job!

My town turns spring colors
spring breeze shedding a rain of blossoms
my heart is a little sad
-Miyo

On the night of the full moon
it was huge and very beautiful

It was so bright that the stars
couldn't be seen

I was beside myself
-Etsuko

flower in spring
I'm thinking at the window
beautiful Shannon
-Masa (he likes to butter me up!)

The cherry blossoms
like haze or a sea of clouds
on a mountain

after wind and rain
a petal of the cherry blossom
on a window's glass
-Eiko

when I feel spring
cat's hair that has come out
and lightly mimosa blossoms
-Miyoko
