Angelfish
Yonah Jeong Nov 2024
There was an angelfish
hard and soft
soft but simple
I think of colors
black
red
blue
white
on the palm of my hand
fluttering around
and then  falling
disappearing into
the water
couldn't get over the shock
of the ending
hiding in the rocky of the water grass
A single angelfish

Maybe it was you?

About the Author
Yonah Jeong Apr 8
I am Yonah Jeong
My appearances:
Blood, Eyes, Hair, Skin
Soul
Mind
Heart
All are beautiful
Because they are created by Love
I am eating three meals also
I am making three poems
Everyday
And I am breathing because of
Nature and neighbors
When I am fifteen years old
I decided and planned to be
A Poet like a peacemaker
For this society and you
Now I became a poet
Whoever I am
Whatever meets hard work
I must love things given to me
As exactly as possible
If I don't fulfill these promises
It is not my true intention
So I try to make happy my others
Just like myself
Through my poems.

gone sides away
Yonah Jeong Sep 2024
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.

rookies of the poet
Yonah Jeong Nov 2024
They are compassionate
personable poses
smiling and
showing the joy of winning

They were for decades
how they risked their lives to write poetry
how they risked their lives to sell poems
since when.

Remove Oxygen Respirators
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
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.

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.

The power of dream 2
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
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.

Flock of Crows
Yonah Jeong Jan 18
In some places
ominous bird

In some places
auspicious

Some days
When I see
I feel good

Some days
when I see
I feel bad

If I see only one
I lonely
If I see a crowd
I feel scary

Black
embraces all colors
Even itself

perhaps
overflowing love?

Like the wind
shakes the forest
revealing its secret
every time I look at

Good Morning
Good night
Good Day

They are
delight
glory
joy with us.

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.

Law of laws
Yonah Jeong Jan 24
The reason for learning the laws
is not to use them
but to avoid using them in situations
where they are not needed

The laws are not to be memorized
to be understood
alone

The people who make misfortune
are those who memorize the laws
without understanding them
in order to use them
(absolutely).

How to write a poem?
Yonah Jeong Feb 8
what you want to write
don't write it
also
don't give up

what you don't want to write
do write
but
give up

what you give up
surviving
what you don't want to write
writing it becomes poetry.

a Island
Yonah Jeong Nov 2024
the islands
one by one
separately
fighting with the waves
funning with the waves
embracing with the waves

a Island are islands

the islands
under the waves
becoming A Island
meeting the land.
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
When the family goes to the beach
The adults jump into the waves
and sleep under the sun
they press their hats down
they whisper loves as they walk along the beach
The seagulls in flocks
looking for abandoned prey
they doesn't dream
from the horizon
watching for signs of an approaching ship
reading a book
For a men and a woman under the parasol
time does not pass
nor they shall not have the pleasure of labor
When the family goes to the beach
The children gather and play
and put their heads together
and build sand palaces
and watching the waves wash over them
Smiles..........

The Line
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
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.

stem and bark are so good for
as a endurance
removes poison

white, egg-shaped
no fancy bewitching
but constantly tempting.

The beginning and end of love are no different.
Yonah Jeong Feb 8
is true love
only true tears
nothing is Easy
No overflowing glasses
No love that doesn't hurt
No hat, no coat, no socks
No ***** nails, no shoes with holes in them
Nothing that doesn't hurt
even if no one comes to talk to you
No loneliness or pain
so it can be painful
today, precious day
money can't buy it
another tomorrow
another past
If you hold Van Gogh's hand.

Remembering Lucy
Yonah Jeong Apr 13
Lucy (always) laughed
Lucy (always) walked around
Lucy (always) shunned pleasure
Lucy (always) feared marriage
Lucy (always) loved mischief
Lucy (always) hated traveling
Lucy (always) shed tears
Lucy (always) criticized snobbish artists
Lucy (always) loved to walk
Lucy (always) loved poetry
Lucy (always) was ashamed of hypocrisy
Lucy (always) lived with me
Lucy (always) was on the clouds alone
Lucy always longed for love.

About President

The Wall of Love

Life is like a lie
Lies spread all over the world
Whatever I see
Tears alone

Also rolling rocks
Everything in the world
Whatever I see
Joyful alone

Because it is water.
