cold night...
i find a warm rock
on which to sleep
[National Geographic July 2006, page 22: It is estimated that more than a quarter of road accidents in Namibia involve collisions with donkeys — often because they lie down to sleep on the warm pavement at night. To prevent such accidents, a group is working to outfit donkeys with reflective ear tags. So far 500 have been tagged.]
About Masago
- Masago
- Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
- From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

nice haiku, and the text adds poignancy to it!
Strange! I just got that in the mail the other day but I haven't looked at it. Think I will now..
polona: Thanks.
j: It's a great magazine. This bit is just a small news-like item (page 22 isn't numbered...you'll have to count from about page 15 or so).
Hey, it's summer! I shouldn't have to be thinking. Counting is hard! :)
