Nobody builds snowmen in Malta! ... no snow ever available. Did manage to build a small one once when we went on Mt Titlis...there snow is present all the year round. // Love your haiku, but feel sorry for your snowman! hugs // paul

oh, jan, this one reminds me exactly of this Xmas decoration I have. It's a snow globe, but when you shake it, nothing happens. YOu just see two eyes and carrot nose of the snowman that melted inside the globe lying at the bottom of the snow globe!!

Wow, poor Mr Frosty! It seems he only stays for a little while then disappears this time of the year. We had snow only once this year and I had fun making my little version of a snowman! A mini me! But he too melted, poor snowman! This is a fantastic Haiku my friend! I really enjoyed reading this awesome poem this morning! What a wonderful piece, Great Work!!

Oh my God was the snowman me, Jan! Was he? He's all white just like me. He's all wet just like me. Look the size of his carrot...just like me. He won't pipe up just like me. Huge dark eyes just like me. He's trying to piss in that hat just like me. What? I have a weak bladder. Have you seen the contest results he got laid just like me. He's in Snow business I'm in show business. All coincidences I think not. Great Haiku Jan I just wish I didn't end up flaccid in the end.

Hi Jan, Boo hoo. Bye-bye Mr. Snow. We wish you well in your new form. I didn't read about this is the Daily Mail or in the obituary section of the Press. Thank goodness for Poetry Soup to get the news hot off the press from Jan, one of their top reporters. Nice structure. Sad story. Enjoy the day. Earl
