Phoenixes fly down on the Chinese parasol branches, several poems
Orioles sound in the smoky willows, one screen of painting
At the horizon, hanging a Forts and Hills Moon
In the heart, filling the comrade-in-arms feelings

关山月
凤落梧枝诗几首
鹂鸣烟柳画一屏
天边悬挂关山月
心里充盈战友情

I would like to translate this poem
The phoenixes are landing on the parasol trees. Those auspicious birds are choosy about where they land, so I think maybe it indicates that your poems are full of inspiration these days. I like the phrase FORTS AND HILLS MOON. It instantly creates a picture. Since you can describe the moon that way, I think there are many other picturesque ways you could describe the moon, but FORTS AND HILLS MOON is especially evocative. I remember seeing it in a Tang poem.
