This is a wonderfully illustrated poem which shows that life and beaty do go on after death. This does give a feeling of grieving too.
Congratulations on placing third in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

I like the various emotions that come through your words, grief, nature, newness and moving forward. The image of the doves in the cherry blossoms creates a painting of nature. Excellent haiku here.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Oh wow. This is sublime. That verse is so beautiful. The cold marble grave. And the images of the bough and the doves. Perfect union of images.
This one is a very special poem

Even in a place of utter sadness, there is beauty - the cherry blossoms. Even in a place of ending, new life begins - in the nest above. Lovely images.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem and beautiful artwork with us. I have always been a fan of cherry blossoms ever since I saw them on the Tidal Basin in Washington D.C. Now because they're the subject of a beautiful poem.

I guess because of the doves nesting on the cherry blossom boughs renews the love even though the loved one has died. Lovely three-lined poem.
One suggestion for the contest which must address a loved one:
over her cold marble grave (your)
