Budded, blooms erupt
Sweet aroma fills the air
Spring it has now sprung
Robins play in mud puddles
The grass grows green once again

I like the feel of this Tanka, the form is correct, the "blunt" aspect is in place, all in all, well done. I would not give up on them too soon! Good luck in your contest!
