rings of smoke between
sips of coffee.
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'.

[Smoking laws in many places have generally grown tougher over the years. Those of us who are non-smokers and living in a non-smoking city or province/state often take this for granted. At one time this haiku would depict a normal scene in a restaurant.]
I love this haiku...even if I don't smoke. ;p
Don't smoke
don't like coffee
but man, do I love this haiku :)
like irene - i don't smoke (never have - save for a few furtive ciggies as a lad) but still love the image
well done

As a former pipe-smoker had again a good feeling!
i've never smoked either but this is a fine image :)
reminded me of a cartoon when I was a kid that depicted an old bear smoking, and grabbing the smoke rings and dipping them into his coffee and eating them like do-nuts.
Why don't I remember things that happened yesterday?
Thanks for the memory jump start.
Ah, well, we still have coffee.
Don't we?
reminded me of my dad...many many years ago
Irene: Glad you like it. Your ";p" is cute.
Aurora: Thank you (nice poem).
Floots: Who hasn't tried at least once, eh?
Tikkis: Ah, Tikkis with a pipe, maybe we can photoshop that in. :-)
Polona: Thank you.
Pamela: Cute cartoon.
Bill: Yes, especially espresso!
Donna: Yes, this image is not as common anymore is it?
So, you're depicting a vanishing world - the world as a swirl of smoke. This one will surely remain after the world of smoke is long gone...!:)
Haven't put one of those nasty things to my lips in 26 years. Back then I couldn't drink a cup of coffee without one. Well done!!
Borut: Yes, it does seem to be vanishing. :-)
Pat: Thanks.
