Sounds of Korean Spring

Sounds of Korean Spring

Visiting Jade Garden
Near Chungcheong, South Korea
On a beautiful spring day.

The cherry trees
were in full flower
Pink and white petals

The scent of cherry trees
in the air.

Other trees are just starting to bloom
Red, yellow and white tulips
Beginning to bloom.

The sounds of Korean spring
all around.

Birds singing
Bees buzzing about
Frogs chirping.

Korean pop songs
Blaring from a loudspeaker
In the café restaurant.

People walking about.
Talking to one another
In Korean.

Workmen conferring
With one another.

As they wander
the pathway
Taking
In the springtime splendor.

The sun is warming up
The pathway winding
Through the forest.

A peaceful, quiet mood
On a lovely Spring day.
