summer haiku d’été – Sherlock Holmes crow = corbeau Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes crow
ripping off the knife
from the crime scene!

crow steals a knife from a crime scene 620

corbeau Sherlock Holmes
qui arrache le couteau
du lieu du crime !

Richard Vallance

Ripley’s Believe-it-or-not, this little bugger actually pulled off this stunt in Vancouver, Canada!

Aussi incroyable que cela paraisse, ce bougre méchant a vraiment eu l’audace de voler un couteau du lieu d’un crime à Vancouver au Canada !


Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.

Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
