a winter landscape for us with his reed pen: Through snow / lights of homes / that slammed their gates on me.
A more recent representative of the haiku tradition, Masaoka Shiki, who lived from 1877 to 1902, was also inspired by snow: Eleven of them go / Horsemen who do not turn their heads- / through the wind-blown snow.

SNOW AND HUGE PINK ROSES
It is not only Japanese poets, of course, who are inspired by the snow. From our own Karacaoglan’s "Snow" verse, "Snow is falling soft and fine", to Ahmet Muhip Diranas, there are numerous Turkish poets who have expressed this miracle of nature. But before turning to them I would like to offer you the "Snow" poem of the Irish poet Louis NacNiece: The room was suddenly rich and great bay-window was / Spawning snow and pink roses against it / Soundlessly collateral and incompatible: / World is suddener than we fancy it. // World is crazier and more of it than we think, / incorrigibly plural. I peel and portion / A tangerine and spit the pips and feel / The drunkenness of things being various.
