Chinese Poems to English #2
The Goose's Song
By: Luo Bin Wang (Tang Dynasty)
Goose, goose, goose.
Bending neck as it sings to the sky.
The white fur floats above the water.
Red feet paddle the waters clear and clear.
咏鹅
唐 · 骆宾王
鹅，鹅，鹅，曲项向天歌。
白毛浮绿水，红掌拨清波。

The Goose's Song
By: Luo Bin Wang (Tang Dynasty)
Goose, goose, goose.
Bending its neck as it sings to the sky.
The wWhite fureathers floats above the water.
Geese have feathers, not fur. Removing "the" was a stylistic choice to match "Red feet" below.
Red feet paddle the waters clear and clear.
I don't really know how to correct this without it sounding weird but "clear and clear" sounds a bit off.

Nice work!
