Nature Poetry 8 (2013)

I am a cloud
I wonder why people are always busy
I hear people's talking.
I see earth
I want many people live relaxed

I am air
I pretend to
I feel all biology's breath
I touch all biology's body
I worry that to be pollute
I cry when I dirty

I am a turtle
I understand my slow body
I say to live slow
I dream to get rabbit's liver
I try to get it
I hope rabbit will be caught by me.

I am cat

Creative Poetry 8 (2013)

I am white snow
I wonder what the people do
I hear Family's laughter
I see Family's smile
I want happy Christmas

I am Father
I pretend Santa Claus
I feel expectation
I touch my son
I worry my son doesn't like these presents
I cry with small voice "Merry Christmas"

I am Jincheon High School student
I understand why teacher say "You should do night study"
I say "I want to go home"
I dream I want to go home
I try to escape school
I hope happy day

I am sky
I wonder what will happen for me
I hear a lot of sound in the world
I see everywhere
I want to be a great person

I am 17 years old
I pretend to be an adult
I feel very proud
I touch my book in the school
I worry about my life
I cry for the difficulty of my life but I have hope

I am volunteer
I understand to many poor people in the world.
I say that the world of peaceful
I try to be honest
I hope the world without concern

I am a space
