Three from today
the daily news —
a crow decries
the futility of it all
hands deep in earth —
a flock of sheep
in yon field... or people
sun in my eyes —
a cacophony of baby birds
guides me home

The third one is my favorite, as well. Nice resonance of 'a favor returned.' All are nice.
The third is my favourite too Norman. I just tried it out loud with 'the' at the start of line one and I maybe liked it even more :-) I'm a one for articles these days more than in previous times - this I know could change again.
We have no baby birds as yet here but the Blue Tits are in and out in and out of their chosen boxes.
I'm looking forward to listening at the boxes for those first signs of new life.

An excellent point about immediacy, Norman, and these haiku certainly have it. If we are always 'carfully honing' we can risk sacrificing this kind of freshness.
Must be more carful with my typong...
