Rhubarb shoots
poke through fresh snow...
late spring.
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'.

1005. First Up
Rhubarb shoots
poke through fresh snow...
late spring.
Link with 1004: Flurry.
[I recently saw this. Other than a few hardy weeds it was the first thing to pop up in our back yard. ]
Now I want some rhubarb pie. :)
our plant is ready to be cut.
My mom called it Pie Plant.
When she was growing up very poor - it was their first sweet treat at the end of winter. (pie, sauce, etc.)
You can imagine their delight when they saw the shoots first poking through.
Made me a bit teary thinking about her.
it's gotta be rhubarb crumble or rhubarb fool for me
(but if aurora's cooking pie i'll be over anyway - custard please rather than cream) :)
your fault vaughn - i'm trying to diet
cheers
nice one
john
fresh snow in late spring? oh well...
i read "Rhubarb shoots" and the taste of rhubarb was on my tongue...
very nice this contrast white (fresh snow)/green (rhubarb shoots)
in German we say Rhabarber -- when you say: Barbara kocht Rhabarber (Barbara cooks rhubarb) it sounds very funny...
Aurora: Mmm, that's sounds like a good idea. :-)
Pamela: "Pie plant"...cool. Thanks for sharing those memories.
Floots: Sorry 'bout that! :-)
John: Thanks.
Polona: The way of like here... :-)
Haiku-shelf: Thanks. And that is an amusing thing to say. :-)
The things that pop up in my backyard aren't edible.But, sounds like a good sign of change.
Pat: Not edible, eh? How about to smoke? ;-)
Incredible! Wow, to imagine how much has already bloomed here. Enjoy the slow arrival. Is it time for pie? ;)
gz: Yep, although it is now about a foot higher from the time I wrote this haiku. And, yes, I look forward to some r. pie. :-)
