2009:
In the Rockies
In a conifer forest where
everything is alive
with rising clouds wrapped
around mountain approach
me and open their eyes
thus for six years
In every detail looking back to
the splendid green summer
there is the sound of wind
sawing the winter tree branches
I still couldn't finish painting
the white smile of winter - Samgmok Lee
2008:
Squirrel
It burst into the garden
Raised a screeching
Unruly creature
You don't see it yet it exists
You want it with you
Are glad when it disappears
