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'.

1029. Surprise!
Front lawn -
he awakens to find forty
pink flamingos.
Link with 1028: Artificial.
[I'm not sure how widespread this is but here you can rent pink flamingos from a local firm for celebrating someone's birthday. The company sets them up on the lawn and they remove them at the end of the following day. A prank is to order them for a friend when it isn't his/her birthday.]
Those ARE pretty funny. :)
Oh yes, it happens down here, too. :)
if you see flamingos on the lawn
do you eyes come out on storks :)
(sorry - just got up - best i can do)
I woke up to 30 purple ones.
Not for my birthday.
It was a fund raiser for court appointed advocates for children involved in either abuse or neglect.
I keep thinking I'm going to become one.
a court appointed advocate for a child... not a pink flamingo.
interesting one vaughn
I'm glad you explained the pink flamingos. Makes sense now. :)
i haven't heard of this before... thanks for the explanation - the senryu makes sense now :)
Aurora: I know. :-)
Andrew: Hoot, eh?
Floots: *lol* Very good (esp. for that early).
Pamela: I was beginning to wonder...after all, your new photo-icon-thingy is sorta pink. :-)
John: Thanks.
Beaman: ...pleasure.
Polona: It appears the notes are vital for the understanding of some of my obscure ku. :-)
So, miracles do happen ... in the shallows of our lives!?:)
Better than waking up to 40 real flamingos on your yard. What a mess!!
Borut: For some they do. :-)
Pat: Ha! Now that'd be something!
