Love it
will-o'-wisp

a sultry will-o'-wisp drifts
as ev'n tide draws near

beatified sun
a delightful rain presumes
pebbles take up flight

lament
wearisome night falls
a large, marshy bog whimpers
forsaken by sprites

Sad, but...
Morning
Clad in sunrise
Noisy city awakes
Night ghosts take flight!

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...

An English thumbnail sketch of Pluft: https://cinando.com/en/Film/pluft_184524/Detail (I found she also wrote The King's tailor)
moistly ghostly
supernatural
a little moistly toad sits
by the curlicues

yarrow's demise
dawn wakes the new day
a wilting yarrow writhes
cries with daffodil

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 ideaFound a few images of Pluft too ! Your double Haiku "Pluft" is wonderful !
meandering thoughts
an overcast sky
a lightsome, lazy wind blows
a promise of rain ?

A squinting squirrel
