  1. Unexpected yet evocative L3 makes this haiku about a rural scene emotionally effective.

    A fine mood shasei (sketch from life) haiku.

    And the scarecrow haiku below could be read as a sequel to Agus's:

    moon rise --
    the scarecrow’s long shadow
    in a stubble burnt field

    And my scarecrow haiku below could be read as a sequel to Angelee's :

    winter twilight ...
    the scarecrow's shadow
    blends with mine
