Fire hydrant
snow rod...tracking
the grass' height.
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'.

[For the winter the City puts up yellow rods that are attached to the tops of fire hydrants. I suppose it is so firemen can quickly locate the hydrants when the hydrants are buried under the snow. In some years there is a delay in taking the rods down for the summer and so they end up serving an unintentional purpose.]
interesting. You would never see that here. :)
maybe that's why we're all here
just to give the grass a reference point
cheers
one year kids and artists were allowed to paint all the hydrants in town. It was a fun project to see fulfilled.
there were designs of every possible imagination.
I wonder if the dogs were confused
Glad you explained as we don't have hydrant locators down here. Excellent!!
i'm familiar with snow rods but not in connection with fire hydrants...
interesting
Andrew: :-)
Floots: Yes, that's it I'm sure. ;-)
Pamela: Probably was some confusion, especially with the smell of the paint mixing with their dog business cards.
Pat: Thanks. :-)
Polona: Snow rods? What do you use them for there?
