I would suggest with the 1st haiku for L3 an article before scent, either "a scent" or "the scent." Perhaps you omitted "the" because you have the same article in L2. For me, when I read it aloud, the emphasis is on "scent" and "the" is hardly noticed, but noticed in the absence.
Hi Adelaide - I totally agree, it sounds a little off without an article. I originally had "the" before "scent" but since I had the same article in L2 I dropped it, but also felt it was not quite right. If I can get away with two of the same article I will be happy. Thanks for the critique - I welcome them anytime. One cannot grow as a poet without help.

I love your poetry. I check almost everyday to see if you've posted anything new. And it just makes my day when you have. Thanks, Fay
I love rain at night while I'm falling asleep.

Just my thoughts.
