Clouds envelop fields

Moisture drips into silence

Suddenly a cow

That is very good. I like the way your last line holds a bit of surprise-for both you and the cow!

good one. and though I don't often follow this, I believe this is proper traditional haiku technique, w a surprise at the end.

Superb haiku. I really like it. "Suddenly" just crowns the poem.
