Author Notes
I prefer to sketch my haiku from life. The Japanese term for this is Shasei. Since it is now early spring for me and I cannot observe an autumnal scene to inspire this weekly challenge, I repost a poem from November sketched in words from my observation of leaves scratching my door for entrance.
Some of you may recall my haiku "skittering leaves flee." In my revision, I eliminated gerunds, or -ing words, to decrease syllables to 4-5-5 and increase word flow. Winning haiku from the International "Kusamakura" Haiku Competition in Japan honored haiku with less than 5-7-5 syllables.
