To Climb Up The Ancient Tombs In Kimhae Daeseong-Dong
L. B. Mek said:
tombs of life\'s now dismissed
as worthless and archaic
They at least had posterity
in mind
Now, we don\'t even consider
children
as worth investing-in, instead
left to do their thing, allowed
to be corrupted
by society\'s trappings, easily
no school trips
no subjects studying heritage
just tick-tock\'s
and prying vultures taking
advantage
watching it all, grass grows
celebrating
wind and rain and freedom
like all its ancestors before
satisfied
by just being a continuation
of an unbroken legacy

The Sharon\'s Roses At The Gyeong-Ui Line Park
jarcher54 said:
You teach me something every day! We call it Altheia (Greek for \"Truth\") in my family, some call it Rose of Sharon or Hibiscus, of course. I did not know that the mugunghwa was the same tree... or that it was the state flower of Korea. Is there a color the Koreans favor as the state flower? We love them in Texas since they flower all summer when not much else does here when it is so hot!

My Youth Hostel experiences (many years ago) were a little more modest.

An Ode To Archie And Joseph Hearsey
L. B. Mek said:
wow this sounds like a spine plot for a remarkable war book
lots of room to work with this if you feel like trying to write a short story or something
not a biography but a fiction based on a real story
(just a thought
thanks for sharing, so informative
and detailed)

The Night Crying Cicada
L. B. Mek said:
so true! dear Poet
how little hope we all have left
still, however faint
as long as Nature still calls to us
we must prevail and prepare
to answer..

To Make The Excuses for Queen Jin-Seong No. 3
L. B. Mek said:
in a past where the collective
was valued more than that salvation
of self
so many sacrificed, so we may be afforded
all those things in life
we so readily choose to disregard..
(thanks for sharing
I will look up this story
over the weekend)

The Ode for Twin Star
L. B. Mek said:
Hark! we must never forget
those who perished
To afford us this freedom
we take for granted!

To Write On The Seol-Pa\'s Painting
L. B. Mek said:
Art, as a conduit
To those feelings we keep repressed
So we use our eyes, not our ears
To listen, learn reflect n contemplate
eventually, we translate
That which impacts us, into words
with poetic intent, striving
To voice, what it means to exist
with a reality
That\'s seemingly, surreal
(a lovely write dear poet
I like the patience in your wording
as if, as you write
you\'re realising the very emotions
you\'re emoting, magical)

To Write on the Seol-Pa’s Painting Titled Pear-Blossoms
L. B. Mek said:
from Li Bai, to Basho , to Kim Sowol
inked words of poetic transparency
detailing the toil of nations
amassing crimes against nature
with each generation
defiling the perfect blossoms
we inherited and setting fire
to those forest\'s of hope...
yet, still
once more, somewhere
beneath modernity\'s
foggy skies and satellite stars
a daring poet, picks up
that timeless ink of Poesy
to word his generations lament
wording humanity\'s tears
adding to our inherited culture
in that sea of poetry, we
read to seek a path to a mercy
we dare to hope as our
key to a salvation, we know
we don\'t deserve..
