Encouraging
best done

by lovers
who have less

not owners
who have more
Yonah Jeong Sep 4
light flowing
right also streams
A day with write burning
distant fire
leaking out from the extinguished past
excitinng fire,
Even I weaken it
If I put it away
spreading gaily at night
YOU
SPARSELY clear
between the cracks
educating Day by Day,
life of lives,
Where is unwavering love?

Wandering blue air
Yonah Jeong Aug 26
with people
without strongman
go with poems
without ant democracy
propaganda
roads of the dream
glass into the hope
together future
in the different languages
It is wandering youth
memories of  heartbreak.

Crying alone
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.

Pablo
who has been without
friends for decades
a city officer
told me
“Behind the parking lot
The tree is old and
and the leaves are causing
a nuisance to the neighborhood
we don't know when it's going to fall
we need to cut it down now"
I said, "he lives in New York"
But Pablo always saying
“Not today...not today
It has been years."

how
a great contribution
for humanity

Can you do it?

If you do that
First, don't brag about yourself
Second, don't criticize enemy not looking

Your friends will be fewer
Also your enemy disappears.

scamper
Yonah Jeong Sep 3
Scamper
Empty parking lot,
early in the morning,
riverside restaurant,
flowing into the city center,
above      
shaking old table,
under
pieces of clouds floating in the blue sky,
                                                                                                                      juice
impressionism pointillism,
                                                                                                                      omelet
grass light of the roadside,
                                                                                                                                orange
broken old tree branches in the forest,
waving leaves,
                                                                                                                  stake                              
pine leaves melodies,  
pierced by knife and fork,
                                                                                                                    snowflakes
                                                                                                                    jazz melody
by the concrete bridge
solo angler
be dinner

waitress cleaning next door,
no more than 118.11 inches in height,
landscape outside the window,
trail ending with dots,
a glass of wine,
afternoon standing alone with a tree,
come in and fall asleep
together

night sunlight: street lamp lights,
riding the wind through,
tunnel of the long night,
                    
                                        a fragrance of the flowers
of the lucky tree
bloomed after 20 years
                                                                                  a rushing poem
enters into the “good morning".

Dart 1
Yonah Jeong Aug 28
On the room door
toward the dartboard
one

three
threw an arrow
singly
even if i threw
dozens of times
couldn't hit
the center spot
so
i pictured a hating face
and
shot while staring
last left arrow
i hit
a perfect score!

Wife warns
"you:
get angry very well
do not take care of appearance
do not know the power of money
human relationship are not good
eating food is too picky
just say what want to say
selfish
repetitive force
and intolerance.

nevertheless
i live in peace

the reason:
with old parents in the 90's
under the May sun
hanging the laundry
sharing the happy conversation
even in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sea 12
Yonah Jeong Aug 27
Even one time
desired to walk back
While walking
wish to see more

Wanted to get closer to
the present's past than to
the present's future

If walk forward,
the present disappears
If walk backward,
the present appears

The taste of life is felt
through the present, not
the future or the past

Take a back step
Can meet a peace
in the flow of time.
Yonah Jeong Sep 1
Masterpieces are born by breaking the rules, and it's up to the reader, not the writer, to nurture them. Because the rules are not made by the writer, but by the reader. But breaking the rules doesn't mean you didn't follow them, it just means you don't need them.
Do not avoid it, ignore it
If you ignore it, you can love.

flower is in the future
it is in it.
I

In oily lands, canned ginger
large but fragrance-free

In a barren land, a canned ginger
small but fragrant

II
Those who have passed through hardship
small but charming

Those who have lived without hardship
large but unattractive.

From the lighthouse 1
Yonah Jeong Aug 30
Be
surrounded by
mountains
lighthouse
stands the same place
starlight
waves
seagull family
pebbles
wet moss
low forest
stairs
sunrise and sunset
a cliff
a winding path
fish
old small ship
a lighthouse keeper
are moving
a true friend
navigator
not visible
good luck
when seen
the best luck
the light of lighthouse
different from the city lights
joy of sharing
with all beings
in the fear and loneliness of the wreck
after the storm
See.

Water Sonata
I couldn't find a way out, so I used
and hit a rock in anger
crashing sea
water, ripples, waves, showing the sea
And shipwrecks,
there's someone's life breathing there

What a good sailor he is
He always wanted to fall over the horizon
His faith is in the anger and loneliness of the sea
How dare he speak of the sea?
The sea is only water, only those who swim in it
and the schools of fish that swim it

When is the sea happiest?
No one, nothing, no black clouds
Is it when an imperceptible breeze caresses?
With the cliffs singing shameful songs
with the cliffs?
beside me.

War and Peace
Yonah Jeong Aug 31
The impact of regional wars
are global all
So, as
there is no peace
that is irrelevant to me
Similarly
there is no war
that is not related to me.

too many free-
dom too many stories
too fast
Un-

Like a thirsty d-
eer Without regret
in autumn
n impressed
tearless
despaired
It paints a miracle.
Let a tree be a tree
Let the clouds be clouds
Sea to sea
Dust to dust
Let a traffic light be a traffic light
Earth to Earth
Space to space
Glass window to glass window
black hole to black hole
Keep the distance between you and me
and make us eat rice without a side dish
that binds distance and time
power of being,
law of love,
You will be with me, even today.
Yonah Jeong Sep 8
Without love
yes, we are angry
to be more bitter
for decades
barely able to eat
with envy
with little to eat and an proud heart
into a sweet syrup
With some sweet shame pills
and penitential roads
could not banish from our hearts
Search
Search
Search the stomach of lakes

The deep, deep lakes
stained with sins all
coloring our fields

The sorrows
our sorrows are always in our souls
save our souls

Grieve
you who are only angry
Grieve
You who cannot be sad
You must change these things in mourning
for your own sake
toward thyself
Grieve.

a Rainbow
rainbow
True and
when i was very young
after a summer shower
crossed the clear sky
a little rainbow
after unfold this and that side
pulled down
put it in the neighbor
bird nest
rainbow seven colors
left a secret place
climbed down tree poles
shook the flowering tree trunks and leaves
and jumped over the fence
swam through the glasses
came to me,
bowed down and grat “hello”
two eyes,
heart, tiptoe and
wet my childhood.

three deers
By the grass
Small vegetable garden
in between
hiding
grazing on the grass
When,
a white butterfly
is hovering around them
is touching
slightly
              quietly
                          lightly.
