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'.

1007. Through the Mud
Two-by-fours
laid down for a sidewalk...
new home.
Link with 1006: Makeshift.
[Usually when you have a new house built the landscaping is either not done or it is minimal. This is especially true in the back yard. With our first home the builder provided nothing in the backyard. That first Spring all we had was a path through the mud at the back that was made from spare scraps of lumber and broken sidewalk blocks.]
I love haiku. Maybe I'll compose one to go with my art work!

This reminds me of a house being built as a child. Love the image...I can hear the boards sticking in the mud.
