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'.

There is a gorgeous one on my way to work... but none left over from last year. I think the birds save them for spring
nice one

Love it!!
Pure observation but eloquent observation as well. That's haiku!
interesting... birds here seem to be crazy about these berries... have never seen any leftovers...
Andrew: Thanks!
Senile (I mean SB): ;-]
Pamela: Yeah, around March/April they get pretty hungry.
John: Thank you.
Pat: I'm pleased you like it.
Bill: Thank you for your kind words.
Polona: Yeah, they can really devour them. We've had a couple of good growing season so these berries here are quite abundant.
Interesting berries, really. Taste of an old wine? Vsop-brandy? (Or was that 'vsop' meaning at least 12 years old?)
Tikkis: Until you mentioned it, I hadn't thought the mountain ash berries were good for anything but food for the birds. :-) However, I did Google on "mountain ash wine" and apparently folks make wine out of it. I'm not sure if it tastes like vsop though (vsop is a form of cognac).
