                                The water ripples
 as it makes way for you, the
 princess of the lake.

Calm and mellow is why I like and you took that theme to a whole new level involving the beauties of nature

                                            I think that's a potential with most haikus, but the reference makes it a little more edgy - maybe the only thing I would think about is the word "ripples".  There may be a slightly more unique way to describe the movement of the water.  I don't think it's a huge deal though.  I like it a lot.
