A sight to see

Pear Blossom Song

Graceful tree embraces the wind, fresh-colored grass.
Spring light, bright and pretty, shows off the lovely figure.
Snow as skin and flesh, plum as shadow.
Cold scent floats along, leaving behind fragrance.

The figure of a young woman is often compared to a stately tree.

Long Good River Fishing Bird

Bright eyes, sharp beak, lots of skill.
Wings soaring, quite a spectacle.
In dark night, deep stream, good at fishing.
Master feeds you to use your teeth and claws.
Several times, try to fly, return alight.
No swallow, no spit up, neck bound. 
"Fisherman, fisherman, how clever you are."
Daily gives the cormorant one fullness.

My boss sometimes makes the comment that the government doesn't let workers have enough food; they are not as good as the fisherman.

The expression usually is "claws & teeth" which represent henchmen.
