flowers flowers

By D.J. YOON

I

Where is Mom Hen today
She’s nowhere, not a clue
Just little chicks are gathered

They’re learning Korean
Busy busy studying words in between

Go, go, go
Cock-a-doodle-doo

Cock-a-doodle-doo

Just half a day of lessons
They’ll talk to us soon

II

Buckwheat flowers in the field
Just look like snowflakes

Flakes flakes snowflakes

The sun shines bright to melt them down
Still they stay upon the ground

At night, the breeze will softly blow
But she cannot sweep away the snow

Buckwheat flowers, soft and white
Like snowflakes, pure and light

And yet premature snowflakes

개나리꽃

-윤동재

어미 닭은 보이지 않고

햇병아리들만 모여

우리말을 배우느라

바쁘다 바빠!

고고고

꼬꼬꼬

한나절만 지나도

우리하고 이야기를 나눌 수 있겠다

메밀꽃

-윤동재

메밀밭에 핀

메밀꽃은

송이송이

눈꽃 송이

낮에는 햇빛이

말끔히 녹여 보려

애쓰지만

녹지 않고

밤에는 바람이

살살살 날려 보려

애쓰지만

날리지 않고

메밀밭에 핀

메밀꽃은

철 이른

눈꽃 송이

Appreciation Review 感想

This children’s poetry is so delightful, offering a whimsical and gentle journey through nature and learning.

In the first poem, the playful image of busy chicks eagerly studying Korean adds a lighthearted twist, engaging young readers with its energetic pace and familiar sounds like "cock-a-doodle-doo."

The second poem pictures a quiet scene of buckwheat flowers, comparing them to snowflakes that resist the sun's warmth and the night breeze.

The repetition of ‘snowflakes’ reinforces their delicate beauty, making it a charming reflection on nature's silent resilience.

I believe the poet is trying to balance imagination and observation in this poem, making it accessible and enjoyable for children.
