senryu – a little boy = un petit garçon = un ragazzino




a little boy
playing the piano...
all thumbs

un petit garçon
joue au piano ...
voilà deux mains gauches 

un ragazzino
suona il piano ...
tutti i pollici

      Yes it is and when we first learn how to play the piano we are all thumbs!

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.
