Dear Flower and Grass

By D.J. YOON

Oh my gosh, look what I found
A flower with a name that sounds so foul
They call it dog's testicle bloom

Oh my gosh, see this grass over here
With a name that makes me feel so weird
They call it mouse's wee-wee grass

From now on, I’ll let that one pass

Just forget these names, so strange and silly

I’ll call you something soft and frilly

Now I’ll name you

The way you dream

The way you want

The way you are

With lovely words that make you gleam

꽃과 풀

-윤동재

개불알꽃으로 불리는 꽃이 있지

꽃 이름 개불알꽃이라니

쥐오줌풀로 불리는 풀이 있지

풀이름 쥐오줌풀이라니

난 이제 너희이름

남들이 부르는 대로 따라 부르지 않고

너희에게 가장 어울리는 이름을 불러주마

너희가 정말 불리고 싶은 이름을 불러주마

Appreciation Review 感想

This is a whimsical children's poem that humorously explores the odd names given to plants like "dog's testicle bloom" and "mouse's wee-wee grass."

Through playful language and rhymes, the poet captures the curiosity of a child while encouraging readers to think beyond strange names and instead imagine kinder, more fitting ones.

With its lighthearted tone and creative approach, the poet not only entertains but also subtly teaches a lesson in creativity and kindness, making it a delightful and thoughtful read for young readers.

"개불알꽃"과 "쥐오줌풀"과 같은 식물에 붙여진 이상한 이름들을 유머러스하게 탐구하는 유쾌한 동시 ㅎㅎ
