Lake raft —
I drift off, still on
my sea legs.
[This is the final haiku in the "Linked Year" project. We are in the process of compiling these haiku into a book we plan on publishing in the near future.]
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'.

1110. Still on Board
Lake raft -

[One summer as a lad we spent a number of days at a lakeside campground. My cousin and I rigged together a makeshift raft and were on it from sunup to sundown. On the second night of this I recall falling asleep with the persistent feeling that I was still on board that raft, rocking back and forth in the waves.]
This is the final verse in this One-Year linking haiku project. As such, this verse also links to the first haiku in the series, #747:
wading pool...
underpants double as
swim trunks
