All the News that's Fit to Haiku

I was thinking this morning that probably the best way to illustrate the strangeness that is me is the fact that I actually look forward to Haiku the News every week. Go figure. So I thought I'd branch out a bit with a new, experimental Haiku this morning. I will still follow it with the news (so fear not), but I want to shake things up a bit.
