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'.

Link with 874: Yard.
[In those early years our Dad made a skating rink in the back yard. With fond memories I look at photos of my sister and I in skates at a time when neither us of could hardly walk, let alone skate. As I recall it was more stepping than actual skating and I think our rears saw more ice time than the blades of our skates.]
we had a pond that would freeze -- with little bits of grass stuck thru the ice - to trip up the unsuspecting.
I loved lying on my stomach and looking at the "life" existing under the ice.
spent a lot of rear time, too, though
Very sentimental.
Love it!
We don't have ice here --- we're under mud right now, though. :)
Haha, I like it.
lovely images
