Pining Heart - Sijo Trio

Pining away into the cosmic dust everyday
Faster than the second hand flies across the face of the moon
Changing its course in an elipse of untold counting.

Here lies the one that got nowhere with no one on the earth,
The burst of flames made the way that told its ending would be soon
Amongst the ashes of the forgotten teardrops dried crust.

Where Pluto goes comes the dawn of lifetimes on the earthly planes,
Two hundred forty eight earth years to be exactly right on time
For the birth death cycles of many hearts including mine.

Korean Winter Blues

Korean Winter Blues


Korean Winter Blues

Korean winters 
Are shorter than before
Impact of climate change

Can get very cold
As Siberian winds
Blow in from Russia

Putting the whole country
Under a deep freeze
Polar vortex 

It does not snow
Too much
Except in the mountains 
The coldest day
I ever experienced
Was in Korea 
Back in 1979

The AFKN radio announcer
Said it was minus 70
That morning.


Korean Taste

Kimchi, bimbap
Bibimbap buds
All Korean taste.

Sarangpabo Korean Love Fool for You

Sarangpabo – Korean Love Fool for You

When I first saw you
In my dreams.

You were the most beautiful woman
In the world to me
And still are.

When you looked at me
With love blazing 
From your dark brown
Goo-goo eyes.

sparks flew from heart to heart
(????ishimchomshim) 

You hynotized, mesmerized me 
Your love mojo working overtime
Turning me into nothing but
A ?? ??Sarang pabo (love fool).

Eight years later
You walked off that bus
Into my life,

Becoming
 my wife,
My soul mate.

And yes, 
I am still
 your ?? ??Sarang pabo.

And will remain under
Your love spell
Until the day I die.

walking in the Rain with My Korean Spouse

Korean Rainy Night of Love 

When I first met my love
My Korean bride in 1982.

We would go for long walks
Often ending with dinner.

After a romantic walk 
In the rained
Soaked streets.

As we sat down
At the restaurant 
Enjoying a dinner date.
 

We looked at the menu
Under the ruby red lights


Of the pub.

And fell in love
Every moment
Looking at each other.

With love blazing
From our eyes.
Sparks flew from heart to heart. 

It was love 
At first sight


Forging a deep 
Lasting emotional connections.

As we fell deeply
Under each other’s love spell.

The mojo clearly
 Working overtime
As Cupid’s arrow struck home.

During the course 
Of the magical evening.

first Draft

I love K food
I love the taste
I love the fragrance
I love the smells
I love the texture
I love the feel
I love how it looks

Korean food is somewhat like
Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai
With some American influences as well
But it is also unique
Distinctive and delicious

The fragrance of Korean food
Is what draws me in
The aroma of garlic, ginger, sesame oil
Soy sauce, red pepper paste, vinegar, sugar
And other spices and herbs
That creates a symphony of scents
That stimulates My appetite
And make My mouth water

Love In Korean

Love in Korean Dew Drop Inn

When sam Adams 
first met her
The lady of his dreams

There was as the Koreans
Would say

Spark from heart to heart

truly love at first sight

that it is just fate

that they had met 
that date.

Two months later
They were married
It all happened
40 years ago

48 years after 
She first came 
To him in his dreams.

Walking Along the Korean Winter Beach

Walking along the winter
 Korean beach,
With the love of my life
By my side,

She looks at me
With red hot love 
Flames shooting 
From her black eyes,

Melting away my heart 
Driving out the cold 
of the winter beach.

Premium Member Ramen

Me loves dem ramen noodles
They's better, better, better
And if I dump them on my head
They'll make my wetness wetter.

Premium Member North Korean Yo-Yo

This North Korean Yo-Yo is threatening disaster
With nuclear destruction, let's send him to pasture
He must be stopped
Whatever the cost
When Yo-Yo's crop up, they're like a cancer

Premium Member A Korean Appliance Store

I own a Korean appliance store
  Protestors smashed my front door
broke all the windows, trashed the floor
  then stripped the shelves, but there's more

to this story than meets the eye
  I've always been the friendly neighborhood guy
hiring drop-outs, ex-cons, some drunk or high
  extending bad credit to help folks buy...

The damage done just breaks my heart
  to pick up the pieces, make a brand-new start
at my age makes no sense; it's not so smart 
  This neighborhood's signaled: Leave! Depart!

But before I go, I'd like to ask
   a question that my brain does rack --
Why don't they jail criminals in this country
   Where's justice for shopkeepers, like my wife and me?

Wrappers

wrappers

I love food wrappers
Korean lettuce wrapped around meet
Korean seaweed wrapped around fish
Mexican tortilla wraps
Ethiopian bread wraps
and lately
naked burger wraps
so many things 
to enjoy and eat 

tweet-speak  wrappers

Korean Water Balloons

Awash in a big sea of blood
Trump's Cash Cow was chewing its cud
Kim Jong-Un laughed,
"Don't be so daft!
You know it was only a dud!"
