haiku d’été – perched in a tree = perchés dans l’arbre

haiku d’été – perched in a tree = perchés dans l’arbre

perched high in the tree
a murder of squawking crows –
goofy guffaws




perchés dans l’arbre
plusieurs corbeaux stridents –
comme ils gloussent !

    I love most birds but these crows are bullies. The haiku however is lovely.!!!

      But they are incredibly intelligent!

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.
