by Masago: Rengay #15 (Dec 9-15), Verses 1-2 (of 6)
River ice — a muskrat glides under / in silence.
The bank's wooded edge — a magpie swoops down.

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'.

Well, aren't you cheery: death and gloom. Who gets it next? Thumper, or Bambi? :)
Aurora: :-) Who said what the magpie was swooping down at? :-)
My over-active imagination, Vaughn, which also sees wolves outside my door when I don't want to go to work. :)
well, I didn't see the same I guess. I saw a nice picture. :)
i saw nature on two levels
but
if i'd seen anything disney i'd have shot it on principal :)
Do magpies attack people in Canada during the nesting season like they do here?
they can be real pests, those magpies...
interesting
Aurora: :-) You give the impression you live in the wilds, hundreds of miles (kilometres) from civilization. Of course, maybe you do live there. ;-)
Andrew: Thanks. :-)
Floots: :-) Red neck?
Richard: They might, I don't recall seeing that though. But that would fit with this verse except nesting season here would be aprox. 6 months ago. P.S. I have been following your haiku posts.
Polona: Yeah, they can be. I just wonder how they survive the cold temperatures here. I would want to be in bare feet on cold pavement and bark, outside all winter long.
