winter haiku d’hiver – in swirling snow = tourbillons de neige
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.

So sad. These small birds are so fragile !
so very fragile indeed! And it gets so brutally cold here in Canada in winter, sometimes down to – 35 celcius, that evvn chickadees perish!
