senryu – my Maine Coon too old = ma vieille Maine Coon 

my Maine Coon too old,
I groom her instead –
wee girl dozes off

old Maine Coon 620

ma vieille Maine Coon,
c’est moi qui la brosse
et elle fait dodo

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.
