Across from the Busan Station, in Choryang-dong, at the city of core.
Rare are the people passing by at 8 o'clock on an early night,
It looks dark bars, here and there, extinguished their light.
Late fall-wind knocks on the door, be a customer of the dark store.

- Comment from author about the poem: I have been to Busan in late Fall, in 2020. The city was chill at the early night, because of the Corona. I tried to write the feelings at that time.

Good write K.
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)
Dear L. B.
Hi! Thank you for your kind answering poem. Firstly, I wrote a poem when I visited Busan 3 years ago, it's according to the Chinese Traditional form(4 line, 7 letters, tight intonation, closed form)and few days ago I translated it in English. I wish you visit Korea, and Busan, some day. Wish your good days!
Best Regards. Kinsley
