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'.

1083. Imperceptibly
Dark flashes
against a twilight sky -
flitting bats.
Link with 1082: Flitting motion.
[San Fernando, Trinidad: As evening descends and the Sun dips below the horizon we look out from the veranda at the city skyline. Almost imperceptibly, out of the corner of an eye, something flitters against the twilight sky. Then there's another one, and a little later, yet another one. It is supper time for the neighbourhood bats.]
i love to watch (and hear) them
thank you
very good
john
i love the mood this creates
i'm quite fond of bats (yeah, i'm weird)
always a few around after dusk here flying circles around the neighbors tree. The tree must attract insects.
Floots: Me too (although we don't see many in these parts). :-)
John: Thanks.
Polona: Thanks. You're a little batty, eh? ;-)
Pamela: That must be cool to observe. I understand they actually serve a "good purpose" despite the negative rap they've received over the years.
They seem to have disappeared from our neighborhood. I used to watch them from the bench come into our garden at dusk!? Thank you. We may never see them again here.
Borut: my pleasure. Thank you for your comment.
