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'.

1079. Call 911
Funnel cloud...
only moments earlier
an eerie silence.
Link with 1078: Before/after storm.
[In 1989 Edmonton suffered the largest tornado in its recorded history. It was also the second-deadliest in Canadian history. As a weather event it was horrific: 27 people killed, 600 injured, 1,700 left homeless, and damage was estimated at $300 million. On that fateful day I recall leaving work around 4:00 pm. All I knew at the time was that there had been a severe thunderstorm warning. But by 4:00 pm, twenty or so kilometres to the Southeast, the tornado had already touched down and was on its northerly rampage. I recall that when I left the office the air was hot, humid, and was incredibly still and quiet. Something did not seem quite right and only later was I to learn why.]
