An anxious wind blows
unsure in its direction
certain of its fury.
I have the urge to replace unsure with uncertain, how do you feel about that repetition?
Too many syllables.  Trying to write a haiku.  How do you feel about the 'in' rather that 'of'?  Also thought of changing the title to "In My Head" or "Through the Trees" or "Over the Pond".  Thanks for reading and commenting.

Hi Steve-
A title change to "in My Head" is better (though I'm not a fan of titles for haiku).

The challenge of ftting into the 5-7-5 count always feels a bit unnatural to me, but it helps force me into precise word choices.

The 2nd line is many times the most difficult line.

"anxious wind' is a great little phrase, but consider another single syllable word for "blow", since we all know that the wind blows; every word counts.  "stops" maybe ?

haiku is another way of saying of saying 'drive you coo-coo'.  But it's fun to attempt them.

Thanks for this one,
Mark
