Notes About The Poem

- Haiku X 166 - Snow -

lace curtains of snow

                            shadows are long - days are short

                                            -  go there pepper grows






* "there pepper grows" ... a warmer country, without winter 
    or if you are really angry ... simply "go to hell" :)
