Na Tae-joo / Wildflower 1

Need to look closely
pretty

You have to look at it for a long time
Lovely

You too.

Na Tae-joo / Wildflower 2

Once you know the name
Become neighbors

Once you know the color
Become friends

Once you know the shape
Become lovers

Oh, this is a secret.

Na Tae-joo / Wildflower 3

Don't be discouraged and live on
Make flowers bloom
That's really good.

Poet Na Tae-joo's poetry sounds like a child speaking.
Pure and unadorned.
I really feel like he's someone who's been looking at wild flowers for a long time.
It gives beauty to ordinary things, to ordinary things.
Thanks to poet Na Tae-joo, the world feels fresher.
Even a wildflower blooming on an insignificant roadside becomes beautiful and lovely through his poetry.
If you look at it for a long time, even I, who am nothing special and have nothing special about, become pretty and lovable.
Thank you so much.
