Historiku is a form that rarely works for me, but this one nails it. Echoes of Basho, sure, but with a distinctly American accent.

A wonderful example of 'show' over 'tell' and the power of implication. We know the lawn has escaped control by the height of the squirrel's leaps.
Strongly pictorial, while still leaving the reader something to do.

the smell of the childhood
Petru-Ioan Garda
(0,0,3) = 3 pts
I find this haiku brimming with nostalgia; though I feel it would benefit from having the articles (the) removed, in particular from the last line. Still, it evokes for me that one-and-only scent of new mown hay - reading it, I found myself transported - a childhood vision of myself, standing in a field and sniffing. Beautiful.

Shamim Mmbone
I like this one for its imagery and potential grace, though it's flawed. Blue grass is a cool season grass rather than summer. It's worth revising for submission elsewhere. I'd suggest something like: cold morning--/mosquito eggs swaying/on a dewy blade.
(Staff note: Shamim is from Kenya)
