The whiff of jasmines
A silk night dress on my bed –
Wedding memories

A bitter cold wind
Swept all the blossoms away –
Spring unfurls new buds

We love each other
Every season of the year –
In spring our hearts bloom

It seems kind of strange
That the flowers of today
Will die tomorrow

Potten or garden
Geraniums demand sunshine-
The beauties of spring

A blue sakura
Blossom in a pink bouquet-
Glistens in the night

In traditional Japanese poetry a kigo is a word associated with a season. Nowadays poets mostly outside Japan do not use a kigo as a must when writing haiku poetry. I think that a kigo adds a streak of romanticism in haiku poems for the simple reason that we and our moods are ruled by seasons.
Happy Spring to all!
Stay safe!
