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'.

[It is common knowledge that baseball players have a fancy for chewing tobacco. Here the image is of a player beginning the season's training on the right foot. Or, should I say, on the right cheek? Outside of baseball, the chewing habit has declined in recent years. I once knew someone for years and only recently discovered that he had been secretly chewing tobacco all that time when it came to light that he had developed cancer of the mouth.]
It's a bad habit, but it does illustrate this piece well.
I remember the lopsided faces of major leaguers in the old days.
Go Cardinals! (life-long fan) :)
a wonderful frozen moment
with that underlying threat
oh oh oh.... I could totally see that (and the spit coming up soon, too)
One vice I never wanted to experiment with. Smoked it for too many years. Great title!!
