funny summer haiku d’été rigolo – on our clothesline = sur la corde à linge

on our clothesline,
fluttering in the wind 
my torn undies

clothesline torn undies 620


sur la corde à linge,
mes sous-vêtements déchirés
flottent au gré du vent

Richard Vallance
 

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.
