Short Kwon Poems

Yoda clever was right on cue
And Obie did swell tae kwon do
But one day unique
In star wars double speak
Must be "May the 4th" be with you...

He had earned a black belt in tae kwon do

   Breaking slabs of concrete with his big toe

      And butting planks with his head

         Had left him nearly brain dead

            Glazed eyes resulted from many a blow

I never knew why the good seed grew
was it because God told it to
or is it because the wind blew
did the bud that became a fruit come from the root
or did the sprout come out though a different route
I don't kwon but I do know the fruit is good to me
and the small plant grew into a lovely tree
and the flowers barely have room when they bloom
and the leaves will fall soon 
so treat the plant with care 
because there is a miracle happening right there...

Tae Kwon Do, gymnastics,
Swimming, piano and ballet,
Music, baseball, fencing,
An activity a day.

Such a far cry from my youth - 
If mem'ry is my guide,
When school was done, we had a snack
And met our friends outside.

On skates or bikes we got around;
With jump ropes, balls or chalk,
We entertained ourselves with no one
Watching like a hawk.

That freedom now does not exist
In suburbs or the city
And looking back, I have to say
It really is a pity....
