summer haiku d’été – crow with an I-Phone = corbeau avec un I-Phone 

crow with an I-Phone
smack-dab in his talons
on the sky net

corbeau avec un I-Phone
arraché dans ses talons 
sur le net du ciel

    I wonder if he is going to save it to his nest or drop it off on the way.

      Oh I guess he has to save his messages anyway, ha ha! And if he is like any other rabid cell phone users, he will NOT want to drop it off! Too addictive!

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.
