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'.

[In the summer it is possible to see magpie nests but they are much more noticeable in the winter when all the leaves are gone. Seeing their empty nests during this time of year is a reminder of the bleak loneliness of winter. The feeling for me is fleeting as I truly love winter despite the -30C temperatures and the continual dumps of snow we typically have here in Alberta.

So many times I stop and you post something that is eerily so close to what I have experienced
I saw a magpie nest a couple days ago... it was in the top of a tree but I was on a road above it looking down. First time I've seen down into one. My first thought was to make sure I returned in the spring to look down into a nest and take pictures of the chicks.
Did you know a family or group of magpies can be called a tiding, tribe, charm, gulp, flock, or a murder?

A very bleak picture indeed. Alittle too severe for this old "southerner".
a familiar scene for me.
like aurora, i think grey sky works very well at the end
Very nice, Masago.
A magpie nest reminds me to rearrange our bookshelves :-)
beautiful image
wish i had
the brush
or
charcoal
or
skill
to illustrate this
Aurora: Thank you for the kind feedback.
Pamela: I'm pleased to be the source of this eerieness. :-) I look forward to the picture of the chicks, I have wondered what that would be like. BTW why not also get a "before" picture? Also, I did not know that there were so many names for a group of magpies. I wonder why they are so special?
Gillena: Ah, to have a mango tree. :-)
Pat: Sissy. :-)
Polona: Thank you!
Richard: Thanks.
Tikkis: You never fail to make me want to giggle. :-)
Floots: I'd love to see your attempt. Thanks.
