I am so very hooked on Korean drama on Netflix. I’m truly impressed with the stories, the writing, the characters, and the actors.
So, I want to share a few poems on the current show I’m watching.
The Poetry In the show: “When The Weather Is Fine”.
Small Love Song by Hwang Tong-Gyu
I received a letter which held yesterday
The path that had always trailed behind you suddenly disappeared, and everything that wasn’t the path went with it
Scattered stones which played with us as kids hide away their faces.
I love you, I love you and in the cold, clear night sky
I see the steady cracking of gold
A thin snow fails
Unable to settle anywhere on the ground, a pair of flakes close their eyes and tremble as they drift together endlessly.

To the Daffodil by Chung Ho-seung.
Don’t cry.
To be lonely is to be human.
To live is to endure loneliness.
Don’t wait for a call that never comes
When it snows, you walk on a snowy road
When it rains, you walk down a rainy path
The black-chested sandpiper in the reed field is watching you.
Sometimes even a deity cries from loneliness.
Birds sit on branches because they’re lonely.
The mountain shadow comes down to the village once a day because it is lonely.
The peal of bells rings out because it too is lonely
