Koo Hyun-Seo, Gimhae Jeil High School
Gimhae, Gyeongsangnamdo.
When a man falls in love
He wants to give her his everything,
Even his heart, if you
Need. So please love him a lot. His
Everything is you. And he thinks you are like a
Vase. So careful, so precious, so pretty. His
Everything is you. And he thinks you are like a
Rose. Very red.

In Janine’s words, “Hyun-Seo’s poem intertwines the emotions of a high school student with the poetry of Robert Burns and his ‘red red rose.’ Hyun-Seo’s use of repetition and simile and metaphor (which we didn’t learn in class until the following week!) shows his creative spirit.”
