“Have you ever been lucky enough to figure out where your dreams come from? I have. I've written many poems about a place that I have only been to in my dreams. This beautiful place is called Korea.” - Ronald J Chapman I found Korea on an early June morning in 2012. My life seemed to have stalled and by accident I discovered the Korean Singer 'Tiffany Hwang performing "Rolling in the Deep" (live) on June 2, 2012. This changed my path and pointed me towards Korea. This is the video that changed my life. Tiffany Hwang 'Rolling in the deep' http://youtu.be/DhtfAy_J6VU Before this. I knew very little about Korea. I became addicted to everything Korean. I think writing poetry is like life. My poetry began with saying, "Hello." to the beautiful angel, Filipino singer Sarah Geronimo. Like life. Some poems are happy, Like life. Some poems are sad, Like life. Some poems are bad, Like life. Some poems are silly, Like life. Some poems make you laugh, Like life. Some poems make you learn, Like life. Some poems make you cry, Like life. Some poems are to short, Like life. Some poems make you think, Like life. Some poems make you dream, My poetry will end on the day I cry goodbye to my dreams of Korea. 롸널드 Two of my favorite Korean books are "The Wind and the Waves" Translated and Introduced by Sung-Il-Lee and "The Voices of Heaven" by Maija Rhee Devine.
