Carpe Diem “Crossroads” challenge to fuse two haiku into one.

on the field
where evening has died out,
my footsteps
the heart
that seeks something
I release to the sea

fading with daylight
washed to sea by searching tide
footprints of the heart

in haiku, troiku Tags: branches, buds, green, leaves, life, rain, renewal, spring
Kristjaan at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai features “troiku” (each line of initial haiku is beginning line of three more haiku in a series). I wrote my own haiku to begin…
bare branches burst forth
spring budding freshly green leaves
renewal of life
bare branches burst forth

birds improvise on treesong
winter’s day is done
spring buds fresh green leaves
young rabbits nibble new grass
first tulips open
renewal of life
gentle scent follows spring rain
promise of apples
cultured pearl

perfume of spring in the air

My attempt at “fusion” prompt (see CDHK) to fuse two haiku into one new one.

the crow has flown away:
swaying in the evening sun,
a leafless tree.
over the wintry
forest, winds howl in rage
with no leaves to blow.

raucous wind stirs crows
black “leaves” clinging to bare tree
murderous caws rise
