Autumn Sunlight
by D.J. YOON
The delicate autumn sunlight
Near the maple leaves
Fluttering as they fall
The clear autumn sunlight
Without any side dishes
Even eating deliciously
The beautiful autumn sunlight
Even after eating
I don't get indigestion or stomachache
If I indulge in the autumn sunlight
My face and my heart
Will become as beautiful and clear as the autumn sunlight
가을 햇살
-윤동재
무늬 여린 가을 햇살
단풍나무 잎새 가까이
내려앉는 대로 보스러지고 있지요
무늬 맑은 가을 햇살
반찬도 없이
맛있게도 냠냠 먹고 있지요
무늬 고운 가을 햇살
먹어도 먹어도
체하지도 배탈나지도 않지요
가을 햇살 실컷 먹으면
내 얼굴도 내 마음도
가을 햇살만큼 곱고 맑아지겠지요
Appreciation Review 感想
Autumn Sunlight beautifully captures the gentle warmth and joy of the season in a way children can easily imagine.
Through simple yet vivid images — maple leaves fluttering down, sunlight making food taste delicious, and even keeping away tummy aches — the poem turns sunlight into a friendly companion that nourishes both body and heart.
Its playful comparisons help children see everyday experiences, like eating or smiling, in a magical new light.
By the end, the poem suggests that autumn’s brightness can make us feel just as clear and beautiful inside, leaving young readers with a comforting and uplifting sense of wonder.

첫댓글 단풍잎이 흩날리는 장면, 햇살 덕분에 밥이 더욱 맛있어지는 모습, 심지어 소화도 거뜬히 되는 장면까지, 일상의 경험을 친근하고 재미있게 표현하여 햇살을 하나의 다정한 친구처럼 느끼게 합니다.^^
감사합니다
