aureate sunset
in the folds of clouds
where geese drift by

coucher du soleil
parmi les plis des nuages
où les oies s’éloignent

    I fail to understand why almost everybody has suddenly decided to like my haiku. They cannot be THAT awful!

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.
