Lots of great Haiku here, there's a seperate term for poems that fit the 5-7-5 form, but don't use seasonal references, I just can't remember it right now. That being said here are a few of mine:

I'll just lay my head
on a grassy pillow
and watch the clouds pass

(yeah the second line has 6 syllables, sometimes you have to sacrifice rules for beauty)

Skeletons of trees
give to the october wind
Winter's coming soon

If I told Basho
how much I hated nature
he'd kick my ass hard

(Basho was the first haiku poet)
