Two Autumn Poems
First one
Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely⑴, but I say that autumn is better than spring⑵.
In the clear sky, a crane flies above the clouds⑶, bringing poetry to the blue sky⑷.
Second
The mountains are bright and the water is clear, frost comes at night, and several trees are deep red and turn light yellow⑸.
Trying to go up to a high-rise building to clear your bones⑹ is not like the spring scenery that makes people crazy⑺.

First one
Since ancient times, poets and poets have lamented the depression, desolation and emptiness of autumn. But I say autumn is far better than spring.
The air is crisp and clear in autumn. A crane soars into the sky and pushes away the clouds, which also inspires my poetry to fly into the clear sky.
Second
It is autumn, the mountains are bright and the water is clear, and there is frost at night; the leaves turn from green to yellow, but a few of them have red leaves, among the light yellow Extraordinarily conspicuous;
Climb up a high building and look around at the clear autumn scenery; it will not drive people crazy like the spring scenery.
