summer haiku – haiku d’été – the dogberry tree = dans le sorbier
thrushes throng
the dogberry tree
for celestial fruit
dans le sorbier
les grives se régalent
des baies célestes
Richard Vallance
The dogberry tree is the Canadian word for the rowan tree or mountain ash. Thrushes and waxwings are crazy about the fruit of the rowan tree.
Les grives et les jaseurs raffolent des fruits du sorbier.
