Haiku Poem

January winter snow
cold quiet sounds all around
life sleeps for now

January is a cold month. The snow that falls shows the sign of winter. When the snow falls everything seems quiet. It’s as if the snow muffles all sounds. People stay indoors to keep warm and animals huddle together.

しんしんと一月の雪眠る街
しんしんと いちがつ の ゆき ねむる まち

一月は寒い月です。雪が降るということは、冬が来たことの表れです。雪が降っている時は、すべてが静かです。まるで雪がすべての音を消しているかのようです。人々は暖かい家の中にいます。そして動物は身を寄せ合って丸くなっています。
