Poem: 유리울

(I’m posting too much today… One more. I’ll set up the other poem for tomorrow morning. The bonus language here is 한국. How skilled do I feel with Korean? Um… Uh… Let’s test it! I’ve written several poems using languages other than English. I’ve even gone bigger with a story in German. There have been a few attempts at poems in Korean or using Korean words. My skill is limited though. Luckily grammar isn’t a big deal in poetry. Simple poems should make sense. Hopefully.)

I’m not sure if I want to use 당신을 or 너를…. both can work… I feel as if the second might make things stronger as a poem. Hmm….

I’ll be able to edit this after I gain more knowledge and skill with 한국.

Wish me luck!
