Choryang Cafe 1941
L. B. Mek said:
thank you, dear poet
a great write, offering sobering insight
(yeah, funny how contrasting time\'s
offer glimpses to our heritage of change
new beachfront 5 star hotels
of modernity
to accommodate that surge of tourist popularity
searching to see if trains to Busan
really have zombies
or a glimpse of that handsome Gong Yoo
lol
all,
built upon the blood n toil of those forgotten
yet,
witnessed by legacy building\'s
like your picturesque
sunshine painted cafe
a tribute, to that fallible beauty
in our
collective heritage of humanity)

The Landscape Of Choryang-Dong
L. B. Mek said:
words of resolve
a picture of sparsity, yet
I glimpse a pram in the doorway
of the eatery
an emblem of enduring hope
someone
is busy feeding their young
keeping
that torch of alive, burning bright
and those
tiny torches, congregated as one
a lighthouse
that anchored our unyielding
resolve
to overcome covid, so now
we
look back at it, as if a distant
nightmare
and awakened we\'re hustling
on those, same
silent streets, and dreaming
of those days
when we had all the free space
to move
as freely as we wanted...
lol
we should be careful
of what we wish for...
(great write, dear Poet
thank you!
hope you had a great holiday
are you from Busan?
do you have the accent?
do you visit the seaside often?
lol
forgive me, I\'ve always wanted to visit
your beautiful country)

While Gazing At The Castle Of Hongju
L. B. Mek said:
(such a poignant write dear Poet
thank you!)
birds flock from chaos
gather, upon life\'s serene remnants
lives, wasted on yet another
uphill struggle
wasted, maybe
forgotten, never
their roar of defiance, against
that universal injustice of fate
still echoes true today
in every battleground of unfairness
decay, as testimony
to the valour in our endeavours
of bravery!

On The Streets Of Osaka During The Long Holiday
L. B. Mek said:
electric boards, highlighting physical feats
a poet\'s creativity, capturing a scenic idyll
more vividly than the best camera
angle, ever could
Kanji dancing in his eyes
Kugo serenading his ears
and heart

The Okura Museum Of Gekkeikan(Wolgye-Gwan)
L. B. Mek said:
\'No smoking the tall chimney\'re imposing like sophora trees.\'
\'The old water, once brewed rice-wine is delightful in breeze.\'
Brilliant!
(To look with our own eyes
As that our forefathers did
to appreciate and word poetic
to bridge a togetherness beyond
war\'s legacy of hate
to attune our awareness and relish
in all the beauty that abounds
what more can we ask of life
aside a slice of love and little
laughter, once in a while...)

Squid Grilled Pa-Bo In Osaka
L. B. Mek said:
that intimacy of seclusion
while open to the world
a space extracted free of hustle
a lifestyle, draped in meaningful
Time
stilled, a room where windows
are devoid of twilight\'s bookends
a meal, for our memories
where we sip, from life

My comments on the poem \"Wrote in Uji tea history park” by Kinsley Lee
You have noted the devotion of the workers in the tea plantations. I, too, have written a poem on tea plantation workers. See my poem “The tea pluckers” on this site. Soman Ragavan. 27 May, 2023. //
Is there a program for making cartoons of real people faces ? I would like to try one.

Japanese Rice Cake Cafe
L. B. Mek said:
love your stylistically succinct wording
thank you! I love poems like this
\'On a spring afternoon, the old capital, it\'s raining and keeps on falling\'
\'The bracken cakes and warm tea, to weary customers, they\'re welcoming.\'
these lines by themselves, make for a delicately worded poem
Brilliant!
