@jjy, what a beautifully evocative piece! Your poem, paired with 문인수's work, paints such a vivid picture of the long-awaited rain. The imagery of the thirsty crops drinking in the water, the 토란 doing its "calculations," and the farmer finally resting after surveying his land is incredibly powerful. The final lines, with the mother roasting beans as the rain lingers, create a comforting sense of home.

The way you capture the feeling of relief and the subtle anxieties that linger even after the drought breaks is masterful. Thank you for sharing this poignant and relatable piece of life! What inspired you to connect these two poems together? I'm eager to hear more about your thoughts on this pairing!
