spring haiku de printemps – while on my computer = moi à l’ordinateur

while on my computer 
I listen through mist and snow
to the first seagull

first seagull 620

moi à l’ordinateur
j’écoute à travers la brume
la première mouette

Richard Vallance

This actually just happened a moment ago.  Cela s’est passé à l’instant.

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.
