summer haiku d’été – calico cat = chatte tricolore

calico cat
hiding in the grass
in her wee mind

calico cat hiding in the grass 620

chatte tricolore
cachée dans l’herbe
selon son esprit

Richard Vallance

All calico cats are female, because they have 3 colours.

Toutes les chattes tricolores sont des femelles, car elles ont trois couleurs.

      She sure is! And her kittens are too. But because of their diverse colours, they have different fathers.

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.
