Beautiful Remembrances with Water

Washington D.C. Capital
No. 2 The Jefferson Memorial 

The Declaration of Independence hand-written, legacy:
"Born and* equal," what a concept!
Coming to this ascendant country, I behold a grand aspect:
Basin surface clear and smooth, water and building pleasant. 

*though my grandfather knew the word for 'created' he used these words because he was quoting the popular Chinese translation of the Declaration--which my mom and I assume was translated without a clear understanding of Judaeo-Christian concept of creation.

Missing River South by Bai Juyu

River south beauty
Scenery I used to know well
Sunrise river flowers redder than fire
Springtime river water green like blue
How can I not miss river south?
