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'.

Link with 897: Built up
[We built the most amazing tree house one year. It was mostly in our minds but we did manage to locate the perfect tree and build a ladder up to where the house was to be constructed. Time and enthusiasm ran out that summer but whenever I drive by the old neighbourhood I remember the fun we had almost building our dream.]
always wantd one
Love it!
sorry vaughn - unexpected offer of work this week and i've been missing out
great stuff as always
particularly liked the sparrow and this one - those echoes haunt me and keep me going
cheers
Old, tree, house, laughter, echo, mind - archetypal!:) The liberating dream quality of laughter...:)
We had one across the street in a vacant lot. Our oldest sister had babysitting duty, and one of us younger sibvlings fell out of it, nothing serious a few scratches and she made us tear it down. Been scarred for life because of that. Good one Vaughn!!
loved the visuals the haiku evoked! lovely!
Yes, isn't it amazing that certain things take us back on time?
This I like very much.

Next door to me is a tree that I had a tree house in when I was a kid (I live in the house that I grew up in.) -- before a house was built there. I asked the lady there the other day if I could get into her back yard and look up the tree. Sure enough, parts of the tree house are still there. This haiku is perfect!!
The cheering sound of laughter is enchantingly palpable in your poem. Good work!
I love the new, sleeker look of your blog. =)
Have a happy, haiku-filled 2007!!!
We had something like that built in the uppermost part of attic.
Also many good memories!
Andrew: Thank you. I hope you were able to get a piece of wood from that tree house as a souvenir.
Irene: Thank you your kind words and encouragement. Blessings to you and your cute family in 2007!
Tikkis: "Here's to good memories...". Thanks!
