The soul of a fairy twinkling
With eyes flickering and charming.
Palm it under the green vines thither.
And with love we look at each other .

萤火虫

闪闪仙子魂,
荧荧妩媚眼。
笼之绿藤下,
脉脉两相看。

中文小诗很可爱。

四行英文诗,其中有 四个 -ing , that bothers me. I know it's my problem. 前两行我想至少可以去掉一个 -ing. 最后一行

And look at each other loving

Doesn't sound right to my ear. Maybe 'look at each other with love' or 'look at each other lovingly'?

还有,后两句好像缺了个主语。

Just a thought.

It's been already revised. Thanks a lot. Now see whether it's a little better.
