Christmas in Pullman haiku
christmas eve
pine trees losing snow
Winter seems to come early in Pullman, Washington. My friend Liana Munir wrote that grasses were covered by ice weeks before winter. And when it comes, the street was deep under tons of snow. But, "It's an obvious impact of climate change," Lia says, pointing finger at the rising temperature in Pullman that drives away the snow. It melts very quickly, and people put off their fury coat, changed them into sweater and lighter clothing.
This is a haiku for Liana Munir.

Liana Munir's tanka
she pulls down
her turtle neck, and
inhales deeply
holding early winter inside
the snow gone too fast
for Liana Munir in Pullman

Nightfall tanka
stand in the open
watching my shadow
darkens and fades
chases the image of you
after the nightfall

Glimpse of your smile tanka
memorizing you
i catch a glimpse of your smile
but your shadow
twice as dark
in my daydreams

Butterflies to flowers tanka
like butterflies
to flowers and daisies

you mend a broken heart
with a long kiss goodbye

Fading affection tanka
