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'.

I give exactly the same answer, each time. It is a sort of ritual... :)

Vaughn i enjoyed the verse, i would put it in the genre Senyru, i would have liked to see the word 'hunger' in Line One though, with Line Two being 'Mom say,'; acting as the pivot.
