Ocean liner —
his pocket watch slips

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'.

1072. Gone
Ocean liner -
his pocket watch slips
overboard.
Link with 1071: Last glimpse.
[My grandfather used to tell us the story of this fellow he knew that was traveling to England on an ocean steamer. A mile or so from docking he pulled out his pocket watch to check the time. To his horror the precious heirloom slipped out of his hand and over the rail into the sea below. A few days later on shore, he explained what had happened to a friend. The friend kindly offered to get in touch with someone he know who organized some divers who went out and amazingly retrieved the watch from the briny depths.]
great story
thank you
Somehow reminds me of Dali's painting with a clock losing all form, depicting the relativity of time!?:)
