Good points:
It clearly gets across the image of a fallen samuri warrior lying in the midst of a shower of cherry blossoms.
(And this with only thirteen words.)
It keeps its rythmn and meter very nicely. One is never thrown out of the poem by a change of meter.
Bad points:
In striving to hold to the meter you have chosen an interesting word order in the third line which I personally find a little jaring.
Otherwise, an excellent haiku.
