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'.

1100. Convenient Refuge
A young crab

washed-up sandal.
Link with 1099: Small creature.
[In Trinidad we saw tiny crabs on the beach. Often they would scurry down little holes in the sand that I assume they had dug for themselves. In this haiku a young crab finds some convenient cover in a washed-up flip-flop. Taking shelter under such cover reminds me of the insecure shelters we sometimes take cover under.]
I was an old crab today. I think the moon must be at fault.
ps. on my Minnie Mouse I sheltered behind FACE PAINT... not photo shop. I know... it was scary.
The retrograde cultural movement...!?:)
