my October
Yonah Jeong Oct 8
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.
Yonah Jeong Oct 5
If there is no equality out same
freedom cannot soar
like an eagle

If there is no freedom out attacks
equality cannot walk
like a turtle

If there are these two in the life
we cannot breathe
like all beings.

The power of dream 2
Yonah Jeong Oct 11
even though it won't be done
my dream
continues to be passed on
if it is not me
through my descendants
my dream comes true
so don't give up on it.

not for me, but for humanity.

Crying alone
Yonah Jeong Sep 12
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.

gone sides away
Yonah Jeong Sep 8
gone sides away
already
already gone
from me,
not disappear
staying
that landscape
that person
that event
And those roads,
My diamond sides
will never fade away
that have made up my minds,
daily soul food stamp.

Don't try to cook
Yonah Jeong Sep 16
chewy and tough
like when you eat meat
little by little
slowly
for a long time
bite and biting again
digested
let it be water
so
at the lowest
return to the earth

this is how we defeat evil.

Hairpin game

Hairpin game
Uh-oh,
cool
cute
looked at friend's hair and said
// ( ͒_̉ ͒ ) ꒰⍨꒱ ツ ü ᐵ Ӫ ⛤ ✾ ✿ܓ ❀ ★彡 .͙·☽ ⚘༉ *•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙
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.

Welcome autumn 1
Yonah Jeong Sep 5
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.

walking and whispering like a river,
rolling around in a hug like a forest,
returning with a smile like the sky:

a lucky tree
Yonah Jeong Oct 7
thrown in the trash
lucky tree branch
brought it home and
into three equal parts
and poured water into three glass jars
one by one
and planted them
one
two
After the days
At the end of 15 days
little roots came up
after a few more days
sprouted from the stem
and leaves began to appear
and then
two of them had roots in the water
and one with leaves in the water
and one of them
I had planted it upside down
the roots,
invisible outside the water
every time we laugh and talk
they danced
in the air and
the ones in the water
give us the luckiest of fortunes
for our good futures.

My Medical Stocking
Yonah Jeong Nov 3
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.

two colors of Love
Yonah Jeong Sep 15
because of
faults and transgressions
and sins
before those who need
forgiveness
what saying is
“All those things
I did it,
I did it”
It absorbs everything

Married the end
Yonah Jeong Aug 29
mother married
at the age of 19
lived for 70 years
father was a very strong
he took care of all the money
he dealt with bad people
he was a teacher and a farmer
for my mother
as the years passed
my father became unable to do
any work for himself
he asked her
to untie his hands and feet
to free
my mother didn't listen to my father's pleas
to stay with him
until the end.

The Line
Yonah Jeong Oct 29
early morning
when the hard day begins
at rush hour
people waiting for the bus
standing in a line
every day
the same time
in the same place
without greeting
without conversation
without shaking
Heads down
looking at a cell phone
waiting in the line
same people
standing upright
With an ecstatic expression.

about love itself
Yonah Jeong Sep 27
my people,
I will live thinking about them
just like you

our love is not false
our love is Unattainable
alone

before
our love begins
love was given

love is not fate
love is irrevocable
love is unrewindable

death is stronger than love
however
Love survives e after death.

I love bare feet
Yonah Jeong Sep 1
There is a reason I love hill

It is not a forest
            a field
      in the grass

There is another reason I love hill

Hill, no direction.
      no height or base
      can lie down.

Really, there is a reason I love hills

Hills, Nostalgia
        There is a future
        There is bare feet

Where two meet, there is a Squiggly road
                                        there is a hug of healing.

a poet I loved so well
Yonah Jeong Sep 21
before I Was a Poet
I wrote poetry alone
when I read poetry alone
when I put a poetry on the shelf
I was in love with his poems
wiping away my tears
he soothed my loneliness
calming my anger
just looking at his smiling face
I was happy
I was a poet
now that I'm a poet
as I was then
I can't love his poems
but
my love is also unstoppable
because of one of his poems.

About translation 2
Yonah Jeong Oct 25
The highest value of literature is
imagination
The cultural imagination
It is
impossible to translate
because it can't be translated
The more try,

Movie and Love
Yonah Jeong Aug 26
Don't try to show love
                     Make it feel

Love is not something you make
                    it is about revealing it

Watch the movie!

The tides of sensation starts
                                        after it is over.
