2-3 Poems
2-3
I was so impressed with the work this class produced. From the surprisingly modern tone in and Damp Monsoon and Untitled, to the implied dishonesty of the education system (in Blackboard), to the devastating sorrow of Father's Grief, I couldn't be prouder of these kids. Seriously, these brought tears to my eyes.

It's hard just to get along today
It makes me lack that math, English, and physics test point
But everything me lack, well, I makes ups in denial
So don't debate and don't touch me
Please let it be
Home by Kyoo-ho
When you go abroad or travel somewhere,
You have so much fun.
When you travel, then, please think about me.
Because, I'm the most strange thing.
Everything is same.
Nothing gonna change me.
One day, one week, one month
or even one year...
passed, but everything is same.
Apartment, playground, cars...
Everything is same
But, you should think about me.
Because I'm the most strange thing.
If the spring comes back... by Ji-hee
The season when flower comes out
One person leave me
I always wait for him
but he didn't come back to me.
I can't believe separation with him yet.
Could I back that time
If I back that time, could I meet him...
Turn and turn, like season
If the spring that flower comes out, returns to me again.
Love by Joo-seon
Adults are eager for the single number on their bank account.
Children are eager for the single animation on TV.
We're eager for the number on a square of a report card.
Why doesn't anyone know it, however?
They don't know that all is not the truth.
It's the very love that requires the most in this world.
Consolation by Soo-yeong
People can't cry although very sad.
Shed your tear!
Shed your tear!
You have stood your tear as can be.
Don't wipe your tear.
Don't wipe your tear.
I understand your mind.
You doesn't seem to fool.
Shed your tear!
Shed your tear!

Damp Monsoon by Hyo-jin
It rains and rains and rains.
The air is full of moisture
which sticks to my body.
Hot weather takes out my power.
Now, I miss cool Autumn.

I'm Not Alone by Jae-won
I won't cry again
I won't be sad again
I won't be shaken by loneliness and sadness.
I will smile although I'm very sick
Don't comfort me although I am seemed more sad.
Sometimes I have to cry because I am greedy
Happiness always looks like big
When it exists in the distance.
Look at the sky when you tired
I am not always a single
Although it rains and tough winds
It is sunny again.
When you terribly sick, shout loudly
To run away weak sadness which comes to me.
I won't cry again
I won't be sad again
I won't be shaken by loneliness and sadness.
I will smile although I'm very sick
Don't comfort me although I am seemed more sad.

To run away weak sadness which comes to me.
Blackboard by Ji-eun
Blackboard is lair.
In fact, blackboard is green.
Blackboard is liar.
Blackboard is...
the greatest liar in the world.

The Star by Da-eun
I was the darkness.
Because the star in my heart went up in the sky.
People told that the start left me.
People told only sad thing.
But I know that the star doesn't leave me.
It is not a parting, but always looking each other.

Success is by Kyeong-eun
Success is power
Power is bravery
Bravery is endeavor
Endeavor is promise
We don't forget
Whoever can succeed
When you keep your promise.

I hope that he returns to me by Yoo-na
Pressing nothing,
I called his name with vacant receiver.
He doesn't it.
He forgot our recollection and conversation.
I walk a street alone where walked together.
and if I meet him, he seems to return to me.

My love by Ji-won
When I didn't know you
You knew me,
When I know you
You liked me.
When I like you
You loved me.
When I love you
You left me.
My love already left me now...
When I didn't know you
You knew me,
When I know you
You liked me.
When I like you
You loved me.
When I love you
You left me.
My love already left me now...

Father's Grief by Keun-ryeong
Nobody know...
father's grief.
Nobody know...
why the silver spoon shine.
The silver spoon is...
father's tears
Baby have gone to...
in the sky.
Baby be...
starry star
in the sky...
Deep tonight...
the silver spoon
getting more and more
tinkle shine.
Nobody know...
