Lol! Interesting image play. re:Enjoyed the link. Wanted to present Pluft, the little friendly Ghost a play by Maria Clara Machedo, but found no link in English.
Ghosts
Sudden movements
White desolate sheets
flutter in the wind...

Enjoyed both Haikus. Thanks for the Pluft link, Tailor. Finally found the classical Pluft image I was looking for:
https://br.pinterest.com/pin/4920183...4128/?mt=login
Pluft
Of human badness
Dressed in gorgeous arrays
I was much afraid.
Me, such a small ghost
The unfathomable world
So full of anger!
The br.pinterest link wouldn't work for some reason so I just took the br. prefix off and got a result that ultimately led me to https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=q3EuT9QMVoc which is a delightful production of a Pluft play. More than 20 minutes in a few influences to catch my eye/ear: Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out", The Monkeys' "I'm a Believer", and Mancini's classic "Pink Panther"... quite cute. I couldn't follow all that was going on due to my ignorance of the language, but I got the main idea :) Found a few images of Pluft too ! Your double Haiku "Pluft" is wonderful !

Because you are old
It isn´t the wold.

Loved the image. Yes, it´s a self consolatory poem, but the cold is getting better already, thanks!

Under the fading sunlight

Thanks! Liked yours very much too, specially it´s double meaning.
The village sleeps
one lonely rooster
advertises dawn.
lol... now I see it ! A neighbor used to have a rooster about 1/4 mile (0.42 km) away that seemed to crow all the time that echoed through our little valley.

Dutifully looked up gila monsters:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gila_monster. Ejoyed specially the bees' haiku.
Wild winds still abound
Without exasperation,
Tiny doves rest.
Lol... dutifully ? There's an old campy SciFi movie called "The Giant Gila Monster"... wikipedia: (spoilers)... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Giant_Gila_Monster
Enjoyed the Haiku... hoping the doves weather the storm.

Loath spiders, but this one is endearing.
Lazy awakenings
Mornings cold breeze
prevails, waves subside
Streets move their legs.
lol... I save spiders and get them out-of-doors with mixed results (currently recovering from obligatory spider bite).
Love "streets move their legs"... very urbane.

re: Spiders- (lol)If you really have to pet them, can´t you do it wearing those thick rubber gloves you surely have at home?

Somehow the town

re: spiders - yes
Sounds like a comfortable day :)

Just like here, when the birds are not impelled to sing at midnight.
Praça Roosevelt on Sunday morning
A deserted place
then birds, fast paced people
morning breaks, dogs sing.
Googled Praça Roosevelt... beautiful urban space... must have been nice to have it for your own for a time.

Enjoyed both haikus. Wondering at the natural presence of foxes in more rural US( Thinking also of bluebiirds accounts, about the foxes near her house). re Praça Roosvelt: Tried to upload a picture I made of Praça Roosevelt with my Android from my window, but it didn´t work.:(
Loneliness
A little bird chirps
And listens for an answer
No one answers him.
