The teacher's joy
Disciples are better than yourself

Parents' joy
Children are better than yourself

The couple's joy
Spouse is better than yourself.

About us
Yonah Jeong Jun 1
we are in nature
we are not nature

we are in cosmos
we are not cosmos

we are limping
we are walking well

we are get angry
we are in love

we live in past
we design the future

we are not enough
we want truth of love

we have things
we show fact of things.

About him 4
Yonah Jeong Feb 13
His voice
Always hoarseness
His songs destructive
But not building
He is a modernist
Above all
Today always the same
With fear alone
Move our bodies
Because he is drunkard
Always
Moving head from side to side.

Even if I feel love
I should not say, "I love you"
Love is like a bronco.

A releasing love
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
I am
why love began
but I don't want to know
how
how your love began
now,
I want to know
I want to hear the answer
but only echoes float by
Because I can't
The words of love
I made
I want to read them.

Red color
hair
wings
torso
legs
Tail
Even eyes
hot, hot
red colored phoenix
never dies
Myth of Rebirth
But its immortality is copied
Legend not fact
The heart
the soul
thought
All cold and cold
Can't die
and cannot live
Because you can't burn yourself
If the temperature of love is
because there is no
The Phoenix
may die
nor live
the legendary bird
Existing in human imagination
and then you like a bird
powerless Human Phoenix
Big Brother
Also you cannot die
even when trampled
and cannot live.

Human Farm
Yonah Jeong May 14
We are not driving hounds
we are raising them
in the streets, hunting
humans
hounds, they are less powerful than
humans, but
they are stronger than the beasts
beasts run away
Now, in these streets
hounds are galloping
driving humans, hunting
humans.

A Rocking Chair
Yonah Jeong May 16
A chair
where someone had sat
a while ago
A quiet and warm place
where no one was present
An empty chair
covered in dust,
Next to it
the sound of birds
leaving their footprints
The traces left behind
gather together
soothing the chair
and shaking it
So a history that is not lonely.

the art of loving is hard to finish
too many sing with internet
to attack their greeds to fill
in spite of disaster. To see love.

About Humanist
Yonah Jeong May 7
Time-independent
always have a green heart
relaxation, a big dream
punished without punishing

Butterfly than flower
root than branch
peace than war
stars than sky
pearl shell than pearl

Interest of indifference
introverted but friendly
preferring unfamiliar one to familiar places

Not remembering
faults and transgressions (long)
Remembering
good deeds and merits long

And
Humanist reject deny abolish
all "-ism" like you
delivering love alone.

A Song about People
Yonah Jeong Apr 21
One person is ashamed
standing
embarrassingly
lingering
at sunset
there is no place to go
no power to walk
The person to see
even those who come to see
does not exist
Even found yourself
you are also found
does not exist
Look at the distance
it will be different
it will be different
does not exist
Looking up at the mountains
mountain trees
Color Sound Animals Plant Rock Trail
Soil Moss River Lake Lights
Villa Bird Clouds Winds
What else is there?
East West South North
There is no existence like me anywhere
There is no
single & bleak
My heart is looking for a place to go
let's see
different but not different
They are distinguishable
who are not other
shaking hands one another
hug together
by changing the shoes
running
dragging
walking towards one place........
Like them
solo but connected
People.

Scenery 1
Yonah Jeong Apr 14
Purple clouds
down to the horizon
and on the horizon
A small reservoir
friend of the black fields
swamps
run in one curve
below
pale gray ripples
swimming
white shining footprints
into the old reeds
they bend and unclench
towards the lighthouse...

Their dreams are on a rampage----

A Pocket of Love
Yonah Jeong Jun 17
Humans are good, but evil

They are evil, but good

Only with love knows whether we are inherently good or evil

All human decisions need money
It comes from the pocket of Love, not from world
You can alone get out of the wrong path if you follow the path of that money

To die is not to leave
It is to pass on, it is to give Love

And with that love, we are here now.

The Greatest Writer
Yonah Jeong Mar 5
I told my wife
“I'm proofreading like crazy.”
“That's not such a good thing to do...”
“Yeah, it's the communication with readers.”

Instead of proofreading too much
Without doing too little

Someone
between Beethoven and Mozart

To anyone
Truth and goodness and
beauty gifting
writers and Specifically poet

Isn't that right?
Yonah Jeong Nov 2024
They were weak
They were unconditionally hated

They always felt love
They only wanted peace

And now

They became strongest
They are hated unconditionally

They always feeling hate
They are only wanting war.

In the flame of love
Yonah Jeong Sep 2024
all dark,
cold,
and complicated problems
melt away
because
we are loved, and especially
we are loving
the ice-cold problems
that are solidified by it
it will melt and flow like water
wetting the fields of our lives
and giving us
a harvest of abundant fruit
to beat the winter.

a flower
listens from the voice
of cool stones
patience of the frozen time
with lavender honey of
anti-progressive
anti-change
anti-wave
flowers carve in the stone

flowers blooming both side of the road
we walk and the cries of the stones
on the road we walk
with moments of silence
stones carve in a single flower

Don't stop
Grow while carve

homecoming of dancer of
flowers in the stone

Listen to their play.......

About Lover

You show me your past
I give my future for you.
Yonah Jeong Jul 6
What lies ahead of us

The Poet's Task

Is to understand the beings that exist
with love and
to discover the
truth they conceal

as vividly as possible

The anxiety of love
The rest of love
banishing the sorrow of existence
the sacred love
this unfathomable love
wandering between heaven and earth
gifting the happiness of creation

The foolishest Love
removing corruption and incompetence
that must be filled
by the poet of this age.
Yonah Jeong Dec 2024
Father is a security guard
Mother is a housekeeper
A couple who worked on a farm
They came to New York.
and rented a house for $1400, 000
and they were working
from 7:00 in the morning to 7:00 at night
A dual-income family
building basement
in a three-square-foot room
when the fire stopped burning
Helen, 4 years old
down on the ground
and 5-year-old Joe
buried his nose in a pile of clothes
suffocated to death
She locked her children in the room
with a LOCKBOX
and forced to work
in the big city of New York
a mother's tears
reject postmodernism.

rainy day in Fort Lee
Yonah Jeong Sep 2024
Good morning, stars

It rains
The wind is blowing

The branches shaken
Autumn on the asphalt
You are rolling

The wires become swings
Anyone
You sent in the parking lot
Look at the gifts of the night

Your painful pains
I'm counting.

without fear of non-being

by shedding light on time
that colors life
It is a labor of love.

a psalm of palm
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
There is a way
of life and destiny
following the maze of
the mystery of art
hugging
with the temperature of love
to awaken the sleeping world
with the warmth of working
nail prints of Pain.
