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 884: Communication equipment.
[This portrays a common scene where a bird joins a group of other birds. Just as it lands another birds flies off. Why does that other bird leave just then? Is it just a coincidence or is there something deeper going on here?.]
bird on a wire...
kind of their own way of using the "telephone"
they come with the news.. the other bird flies off to share it and so on and so on...
i love the stark intimacy of birds when they do this
great word capture
Nice. (1+3) - 1 = 3. Did I get it right, Masago? Or is this a trick haiku? ;-)
P.S. Just brushing up on my lacklustre mathematics skills.
P.P.S. As to the behavior, perhaps it is a quantum bird thing . . . one particle appears and another disappears to maintain an equalibrium of sorts.
It's always that way, isn't it? Nice thought.
O boy, Masago, my mathematics! How many sparrows are on the wire!?:) Deep question!:)
lovely

Borut is smarter than me . . . I admit it! ;-)
It's only a three way party line?? You do keep the hits coming!!
looks like it's gonna be a long day at the office (yep, the euro thing) so in the meantime i thought i might as well break a few rules and visit my favourite blogs, and what do i find? a mathematical problem!
my head is whirring but enjoyed nonetheless!
:)
Pamela: You may have something.
Floots: Thanks.
Richard: I think your math is right. And your quantum idea seems to be on the mark as well.
Andrew: Thanks.
Borut: It is deep, sort of. The math really doesn't matter...
John: Thanks.
Pat: It was 3-way that day. I've since seen a few more and a few less. Thanks for the kind comments.
Polona: Sorry about that...I didn't intend to burden anyone with math. :-)
Message exchanging?!
Tikkis: Yeah, maybe.
