Kicking and Caressing
The term 'kick' or 'caresse' while maintaining wings level would be the action prior to touching down following as 'crab' approach. Still air or without a cross-wind will not require the action described.
You are almost certainly suffering from 'parallax'. The illusion causes you to yaw the aircraft to the left in order to aligne the centre of the nose (spinner) with your line of sight (eye ball) and the runway centreline, you will be sat in the left hand seat remember. Wouldn't happen if you were flying a tandem aircraft. Do you also almost always experience an apparent drift to the left during the approach requiring a repostioning of the aircraft to the right to regain the centre line, another sympton of the same thing.
Answer; look DIRECTLY ahead and do not use the nose as a gun sight.
