I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or if you genuinely like my haiku attempts :) In both cases, thank you :D

Blowing through the breeze
Floating by with graceful ease
Those sweet small spring seeds

Glowing in the sky,
Pulling on the graceful tide
Charming the still stars

Little plants growing
Baby animals showing
The world is glowing

A chilled breeze blows through
It sweetly stings my warm face
Passing without rest

These are all very nice! I especially like the last one. :)

Could someone translate to me just what Haiku means? I'm sorry I'm not well acquainted with the Japanese culture.
