A recent Threads post by Kouki (@3.nokx), who works at a cafe, has gone absolutely viral. The post unveiled a collection of poems he wrote back in sixth grade, leaving netizens deeply moved by their profound emotion and undeniable talent. Since its release, the thread has racked up over 10,000 likes, with the verses themselves striking a chord with countless readers. 
Kouki's shared collection features two pieces that, while seemingly simple, are packed with profound meaning. The first poem, titled "The Sky," describes the colors of the heavens from a child's perspective, noting how clear skies differ from those seen in sadness, and even musing that perhaps tears have colors of their own:
「The Sky
On clear days
You feel so happy
And the sky looks blue
But when you're sad
The sky
Is a little different
Even if it's still blue
There's a slight difference
Maybe
Tears have colors too」
The second poem, "I Know," delves into subtle observations of daily life. From the joy of Saturdays to finding fun even on rainy days, and even sensing a friend's emotions, the poem reveals a child's pure and profound understanding of life:
「I Know
More than Sundays
Saturdays feel happier
I know
Even on rainy days
You can still play outside
I know
My cool friend
Sometimes cries too
I know
There are many more things
That I don't know」
These simple yet profound words convey a reflection on life, allowing netizens to feel the genuine sincerity and emotion pouring from within.
Online, these poems—originally just a sixth grader's musings—have resonated with countless people. The comment section is overflowing with praise and heartfelt reactions, with many netizens calling them "incredibly sensitive," and some even admitting, "I'm 31, and I cried." 
The line "Maybe/Tears have colors too" brought many to tears, while "My cool friend/Sometimes cries too" tugged at heartstrings. These seemingly simple phrases perfectly capture young Kouki's unique insights and feelings about the world.
What's more, some netizens lauded the philosophical depth of the collection, remarking, "To grasp Socrates' 'ignorance is knowledge' at just six years old—that level of depth is astonishing." These accolades made Kouki reflect on his dream-filled elementary school days and ponder his own journey of growth since then.
