Issa Snow Haiku

橇を子等に習つてはきにけり
kanjiki wo kora ni naratte haki ni keri

snowshoes--
children show me how
to put them on

 

.そり引や犬が上荷乗て行
sori hiku ya inu ga uwani nosete yuku

a man pulls a snow sled
a dog atop
the cargo

 

.初雪のふはふはかかる小鬢哉
hatsu yuki no fuwa-fuwa kakaru kobin kana

the first snow
softly, softly clings...
side lock of hair

 

.初雪や古郷見ゆる壁の穴
hatsu yuki ya furusato miyuru kabe no ana

first snowfall--
my home village in a hole
in the wall

 

.はつ雪や雪やといふも歯なし哉
hatsu yuki ya yuki ya to ium mo ha nashi kana

"First snowfall, snowfall!"
he says
without teeth

 

大雪やおれが真上の天の川
ôyuki ya ore ga ma ue no ama no gawa

a big snow--
straight above me
the Milky Way

 

.雪礫投る拍子にころぶかな
yukitsubute tojiru hyôshi ni korobu kana

to the beat
of the snowballs
he tumbles
