Hey Patrick, thanks for the ...Many thanks J.Andrew<br /><br />Hey Patrick, thanks for the Higginson link. Some very useful points on -ing words! A lawyer at work once sent me an article on the use of 'which' and 'that' which has stuck with me ever since. I suspect Higginsons comments will do the same on my use of 'ings'. <br /><br />Its the kind of article that ups my game on composing haiku (much like the f/k/a essay on psyku - though that one freaked me out of writing for about a month).<br /><br />Im ramblimg. Then again, whats a blog for?Emma Dallowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02762502184477362139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414865852217989753.post-19655462004040505452009-06-24T03:23:51.583+10:002009-06-24T03:23:51.583+10:00I love the feel of this- haunting.I love the feel of this- haunting.J.

Very unsettling...<br /><br />They left his blog just they *he* left it.

I always pause over decisions like these. I usually chose the "present continuous" or "present progressive" tense (-ing) but I don't know why and I can't think of a good rationale. <br /><br />http://www.haikuworld.org/begin/whigginson.sep2003.html<br /><br />The linked article is "sort of" related. It's by the haiku scholar William J. Higginson who, from what I can judge, was probably the best and most objective scholar around. I tried writing him recently, only to learn that he died last year. <br /><br />Sigh...Patrickhttp://poemshape.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414865852217989753.post-28240925969449418902009-06-22T22:17:19.763+10:002009-06-22T22:17:19.763+10:00good stuffgood stuffDave Serjeanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06479441346697423799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414865852217989753.post-49220142117897752682009-06-22T21:50:17.572+10:002009-06-22T21:50:17.572+10:00keen to see what you come up with Julie.
