Italian Poplar
by D.J. YOON
Before me now
An Italian poplar stands tall
Its trunk rises smoothly
Its green leaves flutter and wave
Toward the jade-colored sky
The poplar trembles with delight
Shaking its shining leaves
As if they might take flight
Into the sky like little birds
Then, all at once
My armpits start to tickle
Will wings sprout there?
I, too, feel ready to soar
Into the jade-colored sky
이태리포플러
-윤동재
시방 내 앞에
이태리포플러 한 그루 서 있다
밋밋하게 뻗어 올라간 줄기
옥빛 하늘로 하늘하늘 손짓하는 잎들
이태리포플러는 나뭇잎을 한창
신명 나게 흔들고 있다
나뭇잎이 새가 되어
금세라도 옥빛 하늘로 날아오를 것 같다
내 겨드랑이도 갑자기
근질근질하다
날개가 나오려나? 나도 옥빛 하늘로
나뭇잎과 비익조가 되어 훨훨 날아오를 것 같다
Appreciation Review 感想
Italian Poplar shows a child’s bright imagination and curiosity through simple and colorful nature images.
The poem starts with a child watching a tall poplar tree, then grows into a joyful moment where the child feels connected to the tree.
The moving leaves, the shining sky, and the sense of excitement make the scene feel alive and full of magic.
The funny and sweet part where the child feels wings might grow shows the dream of flying freely like the leaves and birds.
Soft and full of wonder, this poem helps young readers see nature not just as something to look at, but as a friend who shares their dreams and hopes.
