wet moss on an old
cedar roof

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'.

the beginning of the end... of that roof
in three short lines
Roots always grow best in what is old, dead, or rotting (hopefully not your roof). Very good!!
i can feel the cold... nice!
Pamela: Its a cedar roof so it should have many more years. :-)
Pat: I don't think the moss is actually growing in the cedar. In this case it is a low-sloping roof in the shade. So moss tends to grow in the cracks between shakes.
Polona: Thank you!
Aurora: I agree with you. Thanks.
I like the moss in the lawn!
Many do not, and they are even poisoning their lawn against the moss. Why! From the roof it is easy to wipe away?
I like this one a lot.
Tikkis: We get moss in the cracks of our cobble-stone sidewalk but so far I haven't see it in the lawn. And you are right about getting it off the roof...I scraped it off last year but it grows back fairly quickly. :-)
Borut: Thank you, my friend!
