Philip Rowland says:
"I can't recall any story behind the poem, can only say that it was written here in Tokyo where I live, and that, for me, it has a concrete poetic element".
So it's for you, dear readers, to fill up the spaces between the lines.
Excellent! I echo Srinivasan's comment.
I really like this ku which highlights transience in every word - melting away like snow, snowman and man's vows. Superb! Thank a lot for sharing.
Perhaps the shortest 3 liner I ever read. It can be read as a fragment/phrase, snow/man's vows or as a run on fragment, snow man's vows. Either way it's good
