Cherry blossoms fall;
Carried off upon the wind,
Borne by whims of fate.
-~-
Walking by the road,
When a car passes by me;
A roar, then nothing.
-~-
Rivers swell their banks
As the ice begins to melt
As the sun will rise.

  1. Woot haikux0rz. Thank you.
    I don't like the first one. A haiku is too short to carry a metaphor or any traditional western symbolism.

    Second one is good. Refine the second line, i don't think the first word is necessary. Otherwise I think it's pretty decent.

    Sweet! "A car passes by me" is a little strange though, it just somehow doesn't flow.

    Cheers,

  3. The theme was the transience of life; you can read each haiku individually, or take the three together. Even the shape of the poem is supposed to convey that XD
