In reply to Gina Kim. Hi Gina You could try a language exchange website, e.g. http://www.italki.com/?hl=ko Language exchange websites let you post text / questions, and people who know the language you want to write in e.g. English will offer you suggestions and corrections for your text. Usually, in return, you would be expected to do the same for people wanting to learn your language e.g. Korean.

And the poet’s bio can be seen here, although the google-translated page is difficult to understand.

This is the English translation for the poem from a Korean poetry anthology book:

“A Water-Mill”
By Ha Yoon Yi (Translated by In Sob Zong)

On the wheel of a water-mill rolling endlessly
I hang my souvenir leaf by leaf;
And when it rolls in water and out of it,
Numberless souvenirs flutter and wave.

The wheel rolling and crying endlessly
Reminds me of the days gone by
And offers to me tears and grief.
——————————————-
An old miller, whose hair is white.
What does his weak eye seek for?
Each time when the huller pounds in the quern,
It sounds with voice and water flows.
