[During the Christmas holidays the local cable provider reserves a channel for playing a video of burning logs in a fireplace. Over the course of two hours the logs go from being lit to becoming a roaring, crackling fire, to ending up being a layer of glowing embers.]
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'.
