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'.

1052. Cranked Up
Driving in traffic -
the loud, rumbling sound
of an earthquake.
Link with 1051: Loud noise.
[Some guys like to crank up their in-car stereo systems to the point that it almost sounds like their cars are bouncing down the street!]
our town passed an ordinance... and drivers can be fined if you can hear the base/music within so many feet.
I don't know if it is being enforced.
boom boom boom? :)
Keshi.
Little earthquake makers - they'll be the end of the world if they continue like this...!?:)
I can't stand that noise!!! Am I just getting old? :)
I hate it too (thanks for correction on zen speug)

When I first read this, I imagined this poem to be set in a place like California! I never thought of the stereo connection. :)
This would make a good haibun, wouldn't it? Do you ever write those, Vaughn?

to the beat
of a passing car
I hate that. Personally I think it is rude to impose on my ears with nothing but boom boom boom. Maybe like Andrew I'm just getting too old.
gosh, do i hate those guys!
earthquake has interesting implications...
Pamela: I'd like an ordinance like that here.
Keshi: Yep. Thanks.
Borut: I think so. :-)
Andrew: Hmmm...it does seem to bother us older folks more for some reason.
John: Thanks...my pleasure.
Aurora: Thanks. I have tried my hand at haibun (some of my daily haiku comments come close at times). Type "vseward haibun" into Google and you'll find a sort-of haibun I did about a year ago.
Bill: I rhyming haiku, nice.
Pat: I agree.
Polona: Thanks.
