Haiku in April

 The results of the April online haiku meeting  are out. I submitted three haiku though it is a rule. this time  only one was chosen. Can you guess which one?

I tried translating them into English.


Mother’s back—
in open-air bath steam,
all hazy

Falling cherry blossoms—
a Hannya mask hidden
within my heart

Hannya: a traditional mask symbolizing hidden anger and sorrow

This cherry blossom—
again, the two of us
in a wheelchair now
