Silver Minnows and Summer Vacation

by D.J. YOON

I
On a summer day,
I look quietly into the stream.

I see shiny little fish,
Trying to eat white clouds
That came down to the water.

But then they spit them out
They didn’t like the taste!

When they saw me watching,
The little fish got shy,
Swimming in every direction.

Wiggling their tails
And swimming together in a group.

II
After eating a bowl of noodles
That Grandma made by hand,

Ha-young, a fourth grader from Seoul,
Tried to grill the ends of the noodles
Just for fun.

Now she’s lying on a mat
In Grandma’s yard,
Listening to her old stories.

She forgot
All about homework,
All about school.

She laughs out loud
As Grandma keeps talking.

The stars in the sky
Slowly come down,
Sit on the mat,
And listen too.

Even Grandma’s dog,
A fluffy Sapsal,
Curls up on her lap with Ha-young,
Blinking slowly,
Listening to the story.

은피라미와 여름방학

-윤동재

I

여름날 냇가에서

냇물 속을

가만히 들여다보니

은피라미들이

냇물에 내려온 흰 구름을

입으로 썩둑 베어 먹고 있다

그러다가 이내

맛없군 하며

뱉어 내고 있다

은피라미들은 그러다가

나와 눈이 마주치자

멋쩍은 듯 마구 내달리고 있다

꼬리를 힘차게 흔들며

떼를 지어

II

할머니가 해 주신 손국수 한 그릇 먹고

국수 꼬랑이도 처음 구워 먹어 보고

할머니 집 마당 멍석 위에 드러누워

서울 사는 초등학교 4학년 하영이가

할머니 이야기를 듣고 있습니다

숙제 걱정

공부 걱정

모처럼 모두 잊고

할머니 이야기를 들으면서

깔깔깔 웃고 있습니다

하늘의 별들도

슬그머니 내려와

멍석 가로

모여 앉아

할머니에게 귀를 주고 있습니다

삽살개도

할머니 무릎을

하영이와 나누어 베고는

할머니의 이야기를 들으면서

두 눈을 끔벅이고 있습니다

은피라미와 여름방학

Appreciation Review 感想

Silver Minnows and Summer Vacation is a charming and heartwarming poem that captures the magic of childhood imagination and the comfort of family.

In the first part, the poet paints a playful and whimsical scene of silver minnows in a stream nibbling on clouds, then reacting with bashful delight when noticed — a delightful image that invites children to see nature with wonder.

The second part shifts to a peaceful summer day with Grandma, where simple moments like eating handmade noodles and hearing old stories become unforgettable memories.

The arrival of stars and even the family dog joining in to listen creates a dreamy, storybook atmosphere.

This poem beautifully blends fantasy with real-life warmth, reminding readers of the joy found in small, quiet moments.
