English Haiku 0402

Today's Haiku is
end of winter
the pigeon's weight
on a bare branch

How do you explain and appreciate this Haiku?
Winter is almost finished. When I see a branch without no leaves carelessly, a pigeon was there. It looked heavy for the branch.

Today's seasonal word is cherry blossom front.

unprecedented; cherry blossom front running up
 
Today's drill is a little bit difficult.
What is the traditional thing in your country.
The first phrase is in Japan
the second phrase is a traditional thing
and the last phrase is a seasonal word with "!"
Using "!" makes the seasonal word more emphasized and impressed.
 
The example is
In Japan, with chopsticks,  having ODEN (pot dish in winter)
 
In Japan, prefer modest words; under cherry blossoms
