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'.

1107. Threatened
We watch the fire
burn on the mountain side...
town's edge.
Link with 1106: Charred trees.
[A few years ago we were visiting our folks who were living near Pentictin, British Colombia at the time. We happened to arrive just as a forest fire had flared up and was threatened the city. I recall driving to a spot across the lake from where the fire was burning and we watched much of the mountainside ablaze and encroaching on the outskirts of the town. It was quite surreal as the sun set behind us and the fire raged in front of us. Fortunately most of the town avoided disaster but homes in a number cul-de-sacs were destroyed.]
edge is right -- I can't imagine.
That would be a horrible feeling.
scary feeling...
a fire has been threatening the outskirts of the croatian town of Dubrovnik... it has been localised but is still not put out completely...
It must be quiet dreadful ....

Andrew: I know what you mean. It was painful watching it from afar or on TV. It is unimaginable to have been one of the owners of those houses that were threatened (or actually burned). :-(
Pat: Indeed.
Polona: Still, a very uncomfortable feeling.
Alok: For sure.
I nearly missed it
Pamela: That's good.
