      Sure. The title of the two poems are 绝句二首 or Two Quatrains. 谢谢你的鼓励!!

    Very vivid imagery counterbalanced with deep sorrow and longing.

      @@dr.gaosclassroom The images resonate well with me. I am familiar with shimmering rivers in the late afternoon and on a few occasions mountainsides in full bloom. Our rivers don't become jade green though!!
      Swallows going back and forth collecting mud for their nests is also a familiar sight and sound. Unfortunately we don't get mandarin ducks!!

      @@jirik2435 Yes. These are familiar sightings around the world.
      It is quite interesting that you don't have mandarin ducks. We have some in a nearby park here.
