Answer:

Condensed poem

Step-by-step explanation:

Pound strived to create a poem more condensed because he wanted to create Imagism reducing the lines and words, and representing his idea of death, described in the poem. There is also an influence of haikus and its short but powerful words that portray this particular image of a phantom, death and resistance.
