-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.
...
Please feel sorry
But
Please not feel sorry verily
Please but sorry suitably.
...
The Pilipino battalion faced the division of enemy soldiers,
Even been encircled but desperately and staunchly resisted in the battlefield.
In the morning, the enemy fled and left the countless corpse-field,
And engraved the tale of the miraculous victory of heroic soldiers.
...
The corps from the borders, they're encamping
and preparing for parade continued by the riverside,
General Yeon requested an early
view in before, and he greeted to guide.
...
Young soldiers'd ran to and occupied the royal
palace, searching for the king,
The troops, in a frenzy, ransacked the chambers
and opened the doors to ting.
...
Those who bowed and bent to buy
the peace disappeared with the king,
The soldiers and generals recommended
Bojang as the new ruler, a king.
...
Su-young rode and ran
towards Bisa fortress.
Knowing the sea's importance,
she left power for defending the fortress
...
To conquer Goguryeo, The Tang army invaded to Ryodong,
To the enemy's rear, castellan Uso hit,
But many soldiers were besieged and died at Sandong,
But the naval forces broke through the encirclement and they hit
...
When the Tang Tae-Jong's army invaded
and fought in Ryodong fortress,
Goguryeo launched a surprise attack
on Changryo, striking the fortress.
...
The invading enemy was bewildered and disoriented,
When they confronted at the unexpected defence of firmness
They launched a surprise attack on the bandits'
Camp at Seongsan in the deep darkness.
...
Ku Haeng-Uhm, Wang Tae-Do, the generals followed the imperial command,
Two generals prepared for a long time and launched the attack, but they're banned
To proceed by the iron-clad defense of the Goguryeo navy at the sea,
So five thousand soldiers died, and their weapons sank into the sea.
...
The repeatedly defeated Tang empires' navy
gathered all their strength,
With a thousand warships and a hundred thousand
seamen're attacking, at length.
...
The undefeated general was suddenly framed,
she entreated her innocent but it's futile,
Her achievements spared her from death, but she'd to go
as a criminal to inner exile.
...
During her exile way,
she passed by Ansi castle
Where the castellan waited on the pavillion
to welcome her, not a vassal.
...
Suyoung closed the book
and opened the window widely,
The wind carried the scent of flowers,
and she'd inhaled for scenting, in deeply.

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.
