Here is one.

"The late bird
Hurriedly flys home:
Winter is coming."

I translated this into Russian as

"Поздная птица
Летает дом торопливо:
Зима приходет."

I would appreciate it if someone (or multiple people) could correct me on this translation and let me know where I went wrong. Keep in mind I'm only in the first semester.

Thanks in advance.

To start with, Hurriedly flies (not flys) home

Now, here is my version:

Запоздалая птица
поспешно (or, торопливо) летит домой:
зима подходит
