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'.

1098. Climbing Higher
Greased pole -
Dirt from my pocket
helps my reach.
Link with 1097: Contesting.
[When I was kid a local strip mall had a mini-fair with a few small rides and some fast-food booths. In the middle of the parking lot they put up telephone pole. They then slathered it with grease and nailed a $100 bill to the top and challenged folks to try climb up and get it. Of course, it was amusing to see grown men get not much further than a few feet. When I finally got a chance, I got higher than the others simply because I was lighter. But then I reached back and took out a handful of dirt I had put in my pocket earlier. This helped me get up quite a ways. But it was not enough to get to the top as I eventually ran out of steam and dirt. One of the following kids, though, was able to take advantage of my dirt and he got to the top!]
