Clothes line - the family's laundry aired for all to see.

[Before there were automatic dryers folks would hang their laundry outside on clothes lines. In the winters here in Alberta the laundry would freeze into sheets of ice. So instead, they would hang them inside on special wooden clothes drying racks.]
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'.
