winter haiku – Big Foot frozen = Grand Pied gelé

Big Foot frozen stiff,
hey who’s afraid of you now?
just you wait ’til spring!

big foot haiku

Grand Pied gelé,
hé qui a peur de toi ? 
attends le printemps !

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.
