— Write a poem which adapting the rhyme from the poem "Sailing a Boat in Mapo" by Seo Geujeong —
Cloudy winter day, the fog envelopes
The West Lake, like Seo-Shi get angry,
Seawater rises against by the wind,
Forming gentle ripples, spangly.
Boats on the river cruise leisurely, lanterns
Swaying like lotus flower,
Cars rush on the bank road, and the exhaust fumes are shaking
And shivering the branches to embower.
Sharp winds brush against the peaks
Of Jamdu amidst the mist,
Through the clouds, the obscured moonlight illuminates the chestnut
Islet, we can see subsist.
Because the fine dust from the continent, long
The crane has dissipated in din,
In every morn, the gray seagulls arrive,
Scavenging through the litter bin.
