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'.

978: Threaded.
[I first saw something like this a few years back but it was hanging on a telephone wire at one of our local train stations. Why was it there? Who had put it there? As far as I know it is still hanging there today. At the time, I was not aware that this was a phenomenon that had spread across many parts of North America:

I like the fact that this one contains multi images.

One way to air out smelly sneakers. Love the links!!
Aurora: In the haiku or in the links. :-)
Floots: :-)
John: Thanks.
Pat: An environmental hazard. :-)
In the 'ku, Vaughn. I could see this one. :)
Too many 'ku are image poor, rendering them anything but 'ku, in my opinion.
we drove through a little town somewhere and the telephone line across main street was covered with them.
I think I'd like it on an elm tree better. a little bird might find it perfect for a nest.
I wonder what you would haiku about that?
Sneaking up the tree - an oddity!:)
strange buds...
like it, and the links too :)
Aurora: Thanks.
Pamela: A bird's nest in a shoe, how sweet. I'd like to see that!
Borut: Sneaky...perhaps the tree is thinking, "What am I to do with all these shoes?"
Polona: Thanks.
