Life is Die?

My friend Dan took a poetry class in high school and they printed a little book with everyone's poems in it. There we're a lot of Korean kids at his school. One of their poems went something like this:

Some say life is beautiful
Some say life is die
In Korea we have four seasons

My question is: Life is die?

I posit, LIFE IS DIE!

Also, do Koreans really care that much about the seasons; or is it just, like, the default topic for all art there?

I am having trouble discerning where the poem ends.

I am having trouble discerning where the poem ends

the poem:

Some say life is beautiful
Some say life is die
In Korea we have four seasons

Or maybe, it never ends. Life is die.

Obviously they do not know about the injuction in English to never say die.

i think he means that between all four seasons, there's plenty of time for life to beautiful AND for life to.. be.. die.

it's a tossup between this and the spider poem:

Sticky spider webs catching fly.
Poisonous spider creepy.
Insects fly in the shining webs.
Delicious spider have spotty.
Every spider make big webs.
Running around the country.
spider! spider! spider!

(Acrostic poem by Hannah aged 6: i found it when googling for a picture of a spider)

When I was a textbook editor, we had to call dice "number cubes" so they could get read in bible belt schools. "AIN'T NO GAMBLERS IN HEAVEN"

― Another Allnighter (sexyDancer), Thursday, 30 June 2005 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Indeed. I was a textbook editor, too.

it's a shame there's not much use for that skill outside of the textbook industry.
