I let my students decipher or fugure (typo) out the title of the poem. It is a Korean type of poem under the genre of sijo [pronounced, sidzou] The Tree of Unhappiness by Kim Sang-yong and translated by Graeme Wilson]
I yada the words, I say the piece, I speak and they open their minds and imagine.
On broad leaves of pau-low-nia
The one and only tree
Whereon the phoenix will set foot....
My students have interesting answers:
1. Tree of Life
2. Love
3. Tree of Poetry
4. Tree of Broad
5. God (answer of Peter)
6. Life, the tree has many memories
The best answer: Tree of Mr. Jabines
