a maple seed twirls down...the dog nearly catches it
Link with 874: Egg / Seed.
[Dogs are known to try and eat just about anything. The more disgusting the better. Sometimes they will also try and catch odd things moving around them. Cats, especially kittens, do this too but they seldom fail to miss their mark.]
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'.
