I found several of these poems snuck up on me with a delightful surprise. If you have time I suggest taking time to track this poet down. One that I especially liked for this forum is Books.
Where are my new books
My ten thousand books!
I'm throwing you all out
Without so much as one last drink together.
The street's full of trash so you won't feel lonely.
I'm throwing you all out.
All my ten thousand books!
No!
No! I have protested,
But between you and me
Conflict has been replaced
By a stupid peace
So...more

I like when Ko tries to dispel something or break down a wall of some sort. He'successful some times more than others. But the good ones are nice. Hopefully he'll get more widespread recognition someday.
Some lovely short pieces, although they are not Korean sijos as Un's work is as a rebellious mongrel. The horror he went through when young!
