5-words Chinese style Version disregarding English grammar

Spring water full spring pool, 
Spring time spring grass grows, 
Spring person drinking spring liquor, 
Spring bird chirping spring garrulous.

Version with English grammar:

Spring water fully fills the spring pool,
In spring time spring grass grows, 
A spring person is drinking spring liquor,
Spring bird is chirping spring garrulous.
