Problems have solutions
If there is no solution
there is no problem
Problems do not make solutions,
but rather
the solution creates the problem
It created already and
the solution is given
Of course
you may not see it
for you alone.

The Poet's Heart
Yonah Jeong Feb 4
You wore white shining clothes
And walked across the four seasons,
And the deep blue sea
Under the high sky and clouds
And crossed the high and rugged mountains
While receiving the love of someone
we couldn't help
And made everyone you met
Love each other
And made them fall in love.

Who am I to you?

A letter to Autumn
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
Oh, my love
I look for you
when I am sick
always with tears
I can feel you
your smile I can't see
your stormy warm touching
always in tears
I see you
Oh, my love
when will I see you
in joy
in secret?

Winter is coming over there........

even in the east
and in the west
light piled up in darkness

I look out and see
wolves and sheep
there is no difference

they can't keep it away
with fireworks
and breaking windows

immeasurably
in the distance
the little stars whisper

“please don't let us be seen?
In broad daylight.......”

sparks and shards of glass
do not become stars.

The gamblers
Yonah Jeong Jan 10
they enjoy in the moments
Winning or Losing

they enjoy in the moments
Live or Die

no questions asked
there is destruction at the end of it all

but they enjoy in the moments
the suffering of the people

they always enjoy them

So
they make and enjoy emergency series
the driving force of love
they don't need a soul.

Winter Lyric
Yonah Jeong Dec 2024
New Year's Eves
the winds of time on the Asphalt
sweeping the sands

At the thought that the year is turning
Winter more lonely
than fall

In a narrow alley
little children play
on low roofs
the day is burning red

When tears running away
slipping between fingers
sitting winter down
beside me
along the banks of the Hudson

I will take a drive.
Yonah Jeong Jan 12
I think
you're just slow rather than lazy

when I had a bunch to study before
i remembered that Spinoza said,
“If the earth were to end tomorrow,
I would plant an apple tree today."

I took this in a really good sense,
but in the opposite sense,
even if I get caught tomorrow,
I will have a drink tonighT
Good people don't fear tomorrow,
LIKEWISE
Devil people don't fear tomorrow.

This is the problem of what to do
with people who can't do good
for the people.

two loves meet in their eyes

Knowledge and love
Yonah Jeong Sep 2024
Love prevents the conceit of knowledge
Knowledge sees the direction of love.
Yonah Jeong Aug 2024
I see the forest of the trees
I walk through the park
with the homeless birds

In the distance
a park forest path: snake's tailing
at the crawling night

Will it rain?
Will time stop?
Will it wind.
Will space disappear?

I hug the leaves that tickle me
clean and warm
This winter night is dawning.

my October
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
skylines
a palace of waves and
seagull flocks
lowering clouds of Autumn
curving horizon
it is a good time
to say "good morning"
to listen "good bye"
after one seconds
turned us into October
we run with the edge of edges
season's season
sea son begining
escaping changing
nothing from being
to sprout
where we are.

love the long river
to the sea of the sky

distant drum of sleeping

narrow new way
sorrow of new day

you are coming to me
with waves of
parting I know
I am so happy
your eyes of agape
beyond eros
in farewelling
this is my life
at one time
devoted to you

should buy these
so cool and cute
for a long time
for a long time
holding a fairy
who has kept her neatness and peace
for so long:
leaf hairpins,
ribbon hairpins
that her mom made from torn fabric,
a thread pin from a poor honey,
butterfly pin,
And with them,
on the soft ground
kicking up dust
my first love
decorated our childhood.

my oath
Yonah Jeong Aug 2024
they fought he fought the dictator of the time, who were more busy maintaining the status quo than those trying to defend and those trying to change. people loved the Romantic poet. In their love, there was always a passionate love that made them see the world and society right. they fight a world that doesn't admit different things than a society that doesn't admit wrongdoing. However, there are no romantic poets in this land, only renegade romantic poets abound. They make up to suit their tastes in the several kinds of poetry by the name of romance to hide it, and are satisfied that the world they see in the well is the universe. They look different, but they are all the same. Like pigs to be led to the slaughter, they grunt at their loves. You renegade, but still, my old friend, your political flattery and complacency are not romantic, you will find out when we are no longer friends. you have to be different If you are a snob like everyone else, then you are a renegade romantic. Oh, yes, You can't be a poet.

Crying alone
Yonah Jeong Sep 2024
Today
4-year-old Jack
not to go to school
He doesn't get out of bed
He doesn't even try to get dressed
He just cries
I finally calm him down
to get in the car
without getting out of the car
to avoid going to school
We go into the school
to avoid going into the classroom
just to cry
And then
the teacher comes out
and he can't hug her and she comforts him
I make eye contact with Jack and say
“The teacher loves you, Jack!”
And then
Jack leaves my arms and grabs his teacher's hand
and they walk toward the classroom
without looking back.

Welcome autumn 1
Yonah Jeong Sep 2024
A forest
like New Yorker colors
flowing through
the sea of clouds
i see
the disappearing road,
deer footprints,
rattan run,
wildflowers last dancing,
self-moving
early morning
sunshines,
october, wind
stroking the grass of meadow,
siren,
dog barking from afar
steamer.......babbling
shaking traffic lights,
most beautiful city,
Paramus stretches out.

a sleeping poem
Yonah Jeong Aug 2024
cars are running
insanity
standing
at Manhattan Intersection
hunger and loneliness
like being inside a castle
must fall
we can get out of self-locking
and homelessness,
the deep sorrow
It is not rare anymore
It is not just dumb
It is not just them, either
cars are driving madly.

return to the earth

this is how we defeat evil.

I love this word
Yonah Jeong Sep 2024
I always suspected
Would he value me?
Even in his devotion
I doubted alone
Would he love me?
Even with his restraint and laughter
I always doubted
Inside and outside will be different
today,
I sent an email
to say "thank you"
Then came the reply
As always, sincerely
thank you from the bottom of my heart
as always,
I first met this word
Like in the old days
I tried to doubt
However, when
tonight, the word
I felt sincerely.

My Medical Stocking
Yonah Jeong Nov 2024
With bad habits
Deep in my right leg
A small blood vessel clogged
Because of the pain in my right leg
I couldn't walk properly
20 years ago,
after surgery
the doctor said
“You're going to wear
the strongest compression stockings
for the rest of your life
You'll always be standing on two legs
at all times.”
since then,
I've been able to stand on my feet
even when it's over 100 degrees Fahrenheit
my wife complimented me on them
I'm walking well, standing well, running well
And today,
I'm here to tell
since a year ago.
hesitating, hesitating, hesitating.
I received my wife's permission
40 years ago,
to write poetry, to do research
typewriter
kicked out of the computer
I bought again it
for 150 dollars
My wife asked
“Do you really have to write on a typewriter?”
sound of the typewriter
typewriter ribbons that leave a trail of wrong things
I love them
I said
“Now typewriter is like medical stocking pair"
She laughed and held my hand.
