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 last leaf
flutters in the wind —

Link with 867: Fall / Not fall.
[One Saturday morning early this winter I looked out the window and noticed a leaf on the tree in the backyard. It was hanging on for dear "life" as the wind tried hard to put it down. It was a pretty tough little leaf though as it fluttered like that all day long!]
Must have been a long, long day. Nice one.
I love how you now explain your work!
I am amazed I stumbled across someone who loved haiku. I also write haiku although I am an amateur at best but I will post some within the next day or two if you are interested.
I think I have posted one or two poems. I sincerely enjoy your haiku's.
Glad I stopped by
...and it was red (at least the one i saw). very nice.
What a brave leaf! :)
SB: Thanks. Actually, days are getting shorter here. :-)
Andrew: Thank you, my friend!
Kathleen: I am pleased you stumbled here and enjoyed the haiku in this blog. I look forward to your haiku posting(s). Please come again.
Polona: Thanks. Come to think of it, this one was on the reddish side as well...or was it more yellow. I'm glad some heinous crime wasn't involved and a witness was needed. :-)
Aurora: What a little soldier. :-)
But it seemed like a long, long day for the last leaf . . . clinging desperately to the tree . . . in the icy wind. ;-)
Yes, from its perspective it was a long day, and perhaps a long night (I did not keep track of how long it sustained its grasp on the tree). Thanks.
I like this one! Borut
Borut: Thanks.
