National Poetry Month Day 20 and 21

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I didn't get a chance to log on to my computer with all the Easter festivities.  Today I am going to post two Haiku's that I wrote a while ago.  Both have the theme of Autumn/Thanksgiving, a little out of season, considering it's the end of April, but a poem's a poem, right?

I hear the leaves crunch,

on the ground beneath my feet,

as I walk around.

I smell the aroma,

of delicious home-baked goods,

Thanksgiving is here.

     The hardest thing about writing a Haiku is keeping the five-seven-five pattern going.  I always have trouble trying to keep the syllable count at the right number.  Another thing about Haiku's that I am not a fan of is that they don't have that deeper meaning behind them that other poems have, they are very blunt and straight-forward.
