summer haiku – two fallow deer = les deux daims

two fallow deer 
in the florid meadow
in a winsome weave




les deux daims
dans le pré fleuri
tissé en amour

      Thank you so much, Rita

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.
