I love the sense of time and backstory you have created with this poem. I could picture it well, and it creates such mixed emotions. Thank you for writing it -- although it was several years ago.

i adore haikus, and this one is so simple and precious. i love that you included the kanji (is that right?) and romanji as well as the english!

Wow, you wrote the Japanese as well?? Your Japanese is so good!
I can't write poetry in it to save my life.

Very lovely, both in Japanese and english.
Also... not that it's negative, but the original japanese only mentions "hana", and not sakura... just something I noticed.

in japanese language, 'hana' refers to sakura unless otherwise stated. this shows how much the japanese people love sakura.

This is an awesome example of the subtle profoundness of which haiku are capable of.

I'm not competent to comment on the Japanese original, but the English translation is very good.
A very traditional and haunting haiku

I love that both versions are so delightful to the tongue; it's nice that the author wrote both - so not only does the Japanese sound lovely, but the English version doesn't suffer from a stilted translation.
Well done.

Well... Sorry for saying this, but this looks very familiar... It might be your thoughts, but I read very very similar haiku some time ago, that is why I don't feel it as your work
