Memory of Joong-Island


Memory of Joong-Island

Alex Jae Hyeon Lee


This land gives to gift like memory.

Some people wait for friends
I wait for my mother.
Some people feel cool looking at sky and river’s line
I tell Hoo~ falling in my head.

The ship makes some waves and a sound like Shi~p, Shi~p
A man makes it for women and a sound like Shi~, Shi.
The river’s color is brown and it is faint
My mind’s color is black and it is faint.

Totally, this landscape looks calm and warm
Terribly, my mind escapes calm and warm.
Sky and cloud look comfortable
Aunt and I look uncomfortable.

Some people wait for friends looking at the ship is arriving
I wait for my mother hoping her money is living.
Finally, the ship is staying
Fortunately, my mother is smiling.

Some people search for friends
We searched her money.
A wind makes a feeling so cool
The winners feel so good.

This land gives to gift like memory.

It's a good poem that you used repeat the words, used "ing" and in the begin and end used"This land gives to gift like memory"But when I heard the poem I thought i can't heard the emotion.

I would like to travel to that place, but I can't speak your language. You did the great job.

You were execellent in the way how you try to make us to feel as you felt years ago being in that land waitting for your mother. It was funny but same time interesting the contrast that you put between the weather and how you felt.
