Lovely idea!
Crisp autumn breezes
blow orange, russet and gold
leaves that crunch the earth.

Pick a big pumpkin,
Sketch a scary face, then there's
My Jack-O-lantern.

Black cats and witches,
Caldrons smoke, skeletons scare!
Halloween is here!

For those who haven't tried tanka, they are syllable counted 5-7-5-7-7 and each line tends to stand alone, not "wrap" to the next line

Letter to the Dead
Blank words on a page
Staring, still staring, again
My hand stayed by loss

Ok this is my very first attempt. Did I do it right?
Cold, crisp air
snowflakes falling
everything's pure

YAY!
Now all the rest of you follow suit.
Mused loves good haiku
almost as much as we love
velvet and chocolate.

I made a submission, Lisa - my first ever poetry publication submission!
Here are a couple non-autumn related Haikus I wrote today, hope you like them.
A tape for typing
files piled high on the desk
many letters typed.
(not sure about this one, I think it may have too many parts for a true haiku).
The baby sleeps
his gossamer skin
unblemished
