This thesis aimed to examine the aesthetics of Kim Jong-Sam's poems through a study of his three short poems, ‘Let's Walk’ and ‘Seong Ha (The sacred river)’, ‘Rasanska’. These poems are extremely short even among his poems, which consist of only 6 or 9 words. Kim Jong-sam considered the emotion, which is not embodied yet as a poem, important more than anyone else. It proves that he recognized the poetry not as a literary work but as a record of his personal and intrinsic emotions. Kim was a refugee in Korean War. He accepted his experience of extreme destitution and alienation as a part of his existence, and actualized it in his poems. he did not embody any emotion but his own emotion which became a part of his existence. His poetic emotions are categorized by emotional subjects, ‘Let's Walk’, ‘Seong Ha’ and ‘Rasanska’ are key positions in each category. His poetic category is as below. Wondering a strange place alone. → wondering Memory make a nebula. → Seong Ha Spirit reaches the waterside in the heaven. → Rasanska As each emotion is included and unified as one, newly-made symbols(or symbolic words) become the main message of the poems (‘Seong Ha’ and so on are newly-made words). The discussion of ‘Rasanska’ will be followed next time. Therefore dozens of his poems or his emotions belong to these symbols of poems, and in opposition, these symbols become concrete and independent variations of the poems. In ‘Let's Walk’ and ‘Seong Ha’, he is at a long distance from objects and it made him to be able to prospect the landscape as a whole. It allows these poems to be key positions in his poetry. Extremely short breath(or length) is not a disadvantage but rather a mysterious authority in these poems like a religious meditation or an aphorism.
