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'.

ha! how fiendishly clever ... and a not uncommon sight.
do you just look at things as you are coming and going and this comes to you? or do you have to WORK at it
I like how you did this -- perfect opposite.
nice stuff again

Hahaha:))) Planting one's secondary (conditioned) self in the flower box of life in the hope that it will grow up to be a flower. The butt of the flowers of our real self... (just a thought:))
Love the contrast od life and death here. You are really nailing these!!
Senile: Thanks. ;-)
Pamela: For the most part these haiku derive form things I see coming and going. The better ones are more like like them appearing to me. I will see something and suddenly realize, "Wow, that's a haiku". Of course, the work comes in crafting the experince into something aesthetic.
Since August I have been linking them as well. To do this effectively I have, at any given time, 10-20 haiku in a draft form. As a write them I look for natural links. Only occasionally do I resort to writing a haiku just so it fits in to a link in the chain.
Thank you for asking. :-)
Andrew: Thank you.
John: Thanks.
Borut: Interesting thought. Amazing what thoughts are inspired by a few poetic words. :-)
Pat: Thanks mucho!
