There is a very old famous Korean drama. It is a very old drama that aired in 2002, and it is still very famous that is sometimes introduced on the air. The title of the drama is Winter Sonata, which is a poem about love that was also cited in the drama. It seems that the first love contains feelings of separation, excitement for love that starts again, and lingering feelings for the past love.

The flight    By Sara Teasdale

​Look back with longing eyes and know that I will follow,

Lift me up in your love as a light wind lifts a swallow,

Let our flight be far in sun or blowing rain -

But what if I heard my first love calling me again?

Hold me on your heart as the brave sea holds the foam,

Take me far away to the hills that hide your home;

Peace shall thatch the roof and love shall latch the door -

But what if I heard my first love calling me once more?

'The flight' ​By Sara Teasdale

When the title of this poem is translated into Korean, it seems to be translated into many different meanings. Perhaps it is a poem about longing for one's first love, so it can be interpreted in more ways.

She may be happier for herself if she finds the missing gem again, but I think she's wise to shift her mind to console herself. I also think I should learn this part again by reading this poem.

These days, I often transcribe with a pencil. That's because the sound of writing is good for listening. Please visit my YouTube channel.  🙏

This poem is a very concise and short poem by Emile Dickinson. But it has deep meaning. The moment a word is thrown away, the word disappears, but at that moment a word is born and becomes one being.
In a way, it seems to have brought a very small concept of existentialist philosophy.


A word is dead 
​
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
​
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.

" A Word " By Emily Dickinson

Today, I transcribed a beautiful female singer's song that sings so well in Korea. This song has not even been officially released by this singer as a song that she wrote and composed herself. It's a great melody to listen to on a rainy day today.

The lyrics are a little dark. It's like reading a beautiful, but slightly somber poem by Emily Dickinson. I think it's a good song to listen to while slowly savoring it on a rainy day. The words in the lyrics add a lot of unusual and meaningful words to the tune. I hope the song will be released as soon as possible. If you read this, make sure to listen to the song in the link below.

better  /  leejean (ground  zero)

spin my cowwebs on a windowsill on a rainy day

wish that i had something better that is left to say

now I'm sitting here in silence reminiscing all the choices

all the meaningless and empty dialogues I've said

and I wonder why, I would shy away 

is it becauase I, is it becauase I've got nothing

is it becauase I, I'm worth something 

would they like you better if you were more clever

striving to get better, softer than a feather

beautiful and tethered,  would they like you better 

and I wish that I could tell you what's inside my head

but i get just way too nervous what should I have said

and I don't wanna regret I don't wanna let this pass, 

try to fight the feeling bite into this paint I felt

and I wonder why,  if I seemed docile,

if I had a heart made of glass that

shines just like a sky, with the sunlight

would they like you better if you were more clever

striving to get better, softer than a feather

beautiful and tethered,  

would they like you better 

would they like you better 

While listening to this song, I thought of a picture that goes well with it. And then I saw this picture.

If you look at the whole flower, out of so many buds, there is only one flower blooming. Among them, this flower is located on the edge. The flower looks lonely and beautiful. And it also seems to symbolize hope.

This time, I will show you the picture I transcribed and also give you the link to the video I transcribed.

The poem I transcribed today is called Autumn by Emily Dickinson. Later, after the poet died, people said that Emily Dickinson actually barely had the title of the poem. It was later given the title when the poems were released into the world.

Therefore, some of the scholars who study poetry have been numbered because they have been named in the order in which they have written poetry.

This poem is about autumn and contains content that is very suitable for the season when we are just out of the heat and heading into autumn. I also like that it doesn't deal with a very sad or depressing inner story, unlike other poems.

Autumn  by Emily Dickinson

The morns are meeker than they were,

The nuts are getting brown;

The berry's cheek is plumper,

The rose is out of town.

The maple wears a gayer scarf,

The field a scarlet gown.

Lest I should be old-fashioned,

I'll put a trinket on.

It's a poem that symbolizes autumn, so I was going to post a picture of brown or orange or yellow autumn flowers here, but I was attracted to this picture for some reason, so I took this picture.

This flower is a bellflower. It was blooming in the middle of summer when it was very hot.

I've been a little lazy these days, but I don't like the letters I wrote on my own and I can't even write well with a fountain pen. I think I need to practice more consistently.  😢

 This poem is by Jeong Ho-seung, a very famous poet in Korea. If you read this poem, you can see words in a very sad sense expressed in direct, not strong, but calm words. 

It's a very short poem, but it's not too stimulating, it's not too direct, but it expresses the overflowing sense of sorry and sadness very well, so I transcribed this poem.

Did the narrator really meet the other person? Or was he expressing regret not being able to go where she was? 

I don't know exactly, but I don't think they met. That's why I feel that the poet expressed more and more sorry.

미안하다    /    정호승

길이 끝나는 곳에 산이 있었다

산이 끝나는 곳에 길이 있었다

다시 길이 끝나는 곳에 산이 있었다

산이 끝나는 곳에 네가 있었다

무릎과 무릎 사이에 얼굴을 묻고 울고 있었다

미안하다

너를 사랑해서 미안하다

There was a mountain 

At the end of the road

There was a road 

At the end of the mountain

There was a mountain 

At the end of the road again

You were there

At the end of the mountain

Crying with your face buried between your knees

Sorry

I'm sorry I love you

미안하다  /  정호승

As I transcribed this poem, I felt very calm. I remembered and missed people I've been sorry for in my life. I also think I should write more carefully. 😐
