May II

edit1;

Purple Robe Tree bough
that my cap brushed in passing
showers face with scent.

@ellajam - Thanks for the read and suggestions.  I *think* I may have the tree identified correctly, and the ambiguity is shuffled out of L2; perhaps the PRT's known lilac scent will serve as a suggestion for L3.  Considered "limb" for "bough" but it causes odd images.

Not sure expanding to the full 17 has improved the original thumbnail non-haiku:

Flowering branch
brushed by head in passing
showers with scent.

which strikes me as how a bald translation of a (much better) haiku might come out.  More in-the-moment?

No-bump edit to L2.
