The Han-River
L. B. Mek said:
Brilliant!
love the humanity, dear Poet
(Peace, however brief
or hopefully, Long
is paid for in advance, by those
who were willing to sacrifice
their future for a dream
some
use weapons and water
their motherland with that crimson
stubbornness, of their dreams
other\'s, like MLK
take beatings in place of their fellow
brethren
hold hands, march in numbers
and word their dreams
so that even future generations
can picture it, vividly..
yet, sadly
\'all war is a defeat, for both sides\'
still,
we must never forget
those who laid down, so we can build
our new paths of freedom
civility and progressive openness
aspiring to excavate a togetherness
from the rivers of blood
that pulses through our weighty veins..
that\'s what it means to survive
to persevere, to dream
of a better!
while picnicking and toasting
those we must always remember)

The Legend Of The Zelkova Tree
L. B. Mek said:
\'or a granddaughter\'
(I think you meant a grandchild
of any gender, right?)
anyway, this was a moving read
I love intimate family legacies like this
a bridging of generations
a lovely read, such warmth
thank you! dear Poet

To My Grandson
mvvenkataraman said:
Dear Friend,
Many won\'t be familiar with olden day\'s English,
Thou, thee etc., stop grasping the poem,
You have rhymed with perfection indeed,
But, thou and thee confuse me too much sadly,
As a friend I have conveyed, not to hurt your mind!

I love how you created that nature-centric sensual tone and worked gin-making into it! Surprising, delicate, and fun. I did not know about the Korean gin craft. Thanks!

L. B. Mek said:
a searching write, thanks for sharing
as a lover of dogs, I agree
with your central argument
indeed:
\'In the world, there’re many people who’re worse than the dog,\'
(the study of words as dogma
is the questioning of meaning
the quest for meaning
is that most redeeming, nature
of all beings...
dear Poet, never cease your inquisitiveness
dig deep, find your own answers
do not be lead, like blind sheep
read all the books
heed all their recognisable truth\'s, question
everything else..
if deities wanted us to follow, meekly
why the eye, why the ear
why, the mind?
free, to determine our own paths in life!)

I feel that it does not mean actual dogs. Aww, why shut them out of heaven? But I don\'t believe it means literal dogs.
It has a sinister meaning - it means practising homosexuals, or sodomites, as they were called in Biblical times. Could apply to practising lesbians also.
That church has taken the words literally, I think.

Have Written A Poem For Seeing The Royal Tombs And Mausoleums Of The Late Fall
L. B. Mek said:
Korea as a whole is so disproportionately rich
with heritage, for its geographical size
I hope a day may come
when your boarder lines, are deemed
an archaic past
and once more your great people
can be one
with your severed family lines
and cherish in each others
collective
strength, creativity and sheer abundant vitality
for life
(i know it\'s not perfect
but it is a beautiful nation
all the same
in my humble opinion
\'\'dae-han-min-guk!\'\')
I fear I\'ll die without witnessing
the majesty and serenity of Jeju
(a personal tragedy)
lol

When it snows on the yard, all
The world will be covered with white. Equally.\'
