-In Memory of the Air-Force Pilot, the Father Myung-Ryul Park, and his Son In-Chul Park…
The hillside is dusky when the sun set in the west,
The riverbank the road lights flash on the dandy creased
...
In early morning, whenever open the eyes,
It flows that the unrecoverable old stories, suddenly.
The autumn airs are whirling like the spring tides,
The regrets and sorrows surges upon to me.
...
Dong-Ju, Yoon
On the night of the day when I came back
At same room, my skeleton was running after and lying
...
Sah-Eon, Yang
Even the Tae-mountain is high,
But the limit is the sky.
...
At dawn, through the open window embrace,
Whispers of weeping voices reach to my bed.
But down the park, to the grove I tread, where
The chorus of insects' hushes, silence spread.
...
Far-away the se of Ae-Wol,
The white boats are floating
On the blacks rocks at the seashore
The whity sprays are raising
...
The winds blow on the green field, so the blue river is crystal clear.
The stars set on the azure sky and the white clouds rise higher, higher.
A fisherman has the heavy hands because the fishes are fat.
At daybreak the lights are reflected by the scales so the water glitter.
...
Jang-Sung, Chu
In some place where faraway the coast.
I was looking for your traces which dispersed.
...
Jang-Sung, Chu
Midwinter, at the evening when it's around the sunset.
Uneven and gray-black clouds terribly went down as if touching the dark sea.
...
Jang-Sung, Chu
Off Seoul,
Take on the eight round-trip lanes freeway,
...
Sang-Cheol, Han
The silent, in the old dynasty's pond
Where it's been breezing by the light wind.
...
The cicadae's chirping is withered in the trees,
But the dragonflies're fluttering and the light winds breeze.
...
Chong-Suh, Kim
On the peak of the Mount Paek-Du we plant our colors,
In the Tomoon-River we wash our mares.
...
It's the many faces along the way
From Yong-san to Yon-nam, brooks and grasses
Between the woods, not ending way
Linked to the buildings and stores, the masses
...
It's full of autumn tints on the way
To the Yong-Mi-Ri, the leaves began to brown.
To the hills and vales it's not long, the way
Was off the city streets and town.
...
Sihn-Kyung Lee
The mist goes down
And drew a sheet of drawing
...
Paeng-Nyun, Park
It's black like white, ‘cause a crow
Got the rain and snow.
...
Sihn-Kyung Lee
The innate modesty, maybe is it the order
Of the heaven? To the earth, it is the colder,
...
Hyung-Sig, Kim
All things,
There are not that not these things.
...
There is a long way in front of thee,
And thou must go the way at alone.
Thy family can help but not with thee.
Thou must go the way with the legs by thy own.

The Ode For Twin Star
-In Memory of the Air-Force Pilot, the Father Myung-Ryul Park, and his Son In-Chul Park…
The hillside is dusky when the sun set in the west,
The riverbank the road lights flash on the dandy creased
Roads. In the small cell, they prepare for their rest.
And on the sky, the stars appear their faces in the east.
But the outside of the land the day's affair's not finished,
Under the starlight their busyness are not diminished.
One day the gravestone was erected in this hallowed ground,
And with greeting, a new star appeared in the sky at night,
And the four-year son's waiting his sire to the airplane's sound,
And longing for father but only the star's beaming the light
When he grown up, been an air-force pilot to fly
But one day, sadly he chased his father in the sky.
Yon, the twin tombstones on this land. Hark!
The twin stars on the sky, on this hill and river, they shine.
Without the resting the gray tombstones gleam in dark,
The last post blows the calmly sounds in this shrine.
For their living days for their country they did their best,
And the small cells under the ground the all souls rest.
Owing to the sacrifice of the stars the road-lights shine
And the Pleasure boat progress upstream on the river
And hot summer on the farm the grapes are maturing on the vine
For wine. We must not forget their sacrifice forever.
For this country, he left this land for being a star,
And even his son chased him for being another star.
