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'.

[In downtown Edmonton there is a park in front of city hall called Sir Winston Churchill Square. It was dedicated to Britain's famous Second World War Prime Minister. In the winter time a huge circular skating rink was made and folks would skate there all winter long. In the North East corner of the block stood a bronze statue of Sir Winston himself.]

The "Grand Best" announcement is about 2 or 3 screen-fulls down.
Ah, the nobelist Winston!
(He is a good writer, have glanced his History of II World War, 6 volumes...)
Also Winston permitted Shackleton to sail down to Antarctic 1914, the I World War was just begun, and Shackleton and many of his crew were also a navy-men? Winston was a First Lord of the Admiralty at that time.

What else would one do in such circumstances!?:)Watching from a historic perspective!
Tikkis: Thank you for those notes of history. I am a big fan of the Shackleton story.
