Gen, I enjoy you haiku and it is a shame we only get to read a translation! I wonder whether your translations are literal or interpretative? It is always so hard with poetry... for example this haiku here, would flow smoother in English so:

flowers whispering
after the long winter
the sound of music

All the best. B.
