[I took a snooze one Sunday afternoon not long ago. I nicely drifted off when all of a sudden I heard the sound of big old crow outside the window: "Caw, caw". Then it was quiet for awhile. But then again, as I fell asleep, it cawed again. This continued for over half an hour until a second crow joined in, "Caw, caw", "Caw caw"...]
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 such a pity we do not understand the crows' language! I'm sure it wished you "sweet dreams" :)

This is strange, an omen of sorts!?:) Reminds me of Magiceye's 'crow on the fence'!?:)Listening to the words of the free!?:)
