On Departure

Done for Carpe Diem #870 prologue: spring departing; how glorious

departing...

the long face of this cat

who keeps me company

Also inspired by these haiku below:

spring departing
birds cry and in the fishes'
eyes are tears

a farewell verse
scribbled on a receipt
don't forget me

Harmattan winds

Done for Carpe Diem

In imitation of a haiku writing technique dubbed "mixing up". Here the haiku action leaves the reader in a state of subtle confusion, as to who is doing the action, nature or the persona. You may  be right to call it application of ambiguity in haiku.

harmattan winds...

carrying leaves across
the border

end of winter
covering the first row
of lettuce seeds

full moon
walking around the pond
all night
