early bus—
catching my reflection
in the police van window
Helen Buckingham
For some the daily routine is a bus to work, or for some other purpose, while for others it's the early visit to criminal courts. Life goes on in all its forms.
There are other layers to this haiku as well, so I hope readers come back to this excellently crafted haiku.

I was wondering if it needs something to set the scene, but it's perfect as it is. Nicely done!

A classic experience–catching our reflections at unexpected times!
seeing my reflection
in store windows
feeling younger today
than I look
days grow longer
Happy New Year

the heron
motionless
his reflection ripples in time
