  Gurmeet Sandhu "As the fisherman said, the haiku are not ours, but come through us. How we take care of the ones we do keep is up to us. Do we gut them right away, getting rid of the extra ands and me's and prepositions?"

  Swaran Singh The extended simile has been very carefully done here. If I were in teaching any longer, I could use it as an example of figurative writing.
  But its brilliance as a metaphor or as an extended simile should not blind us to the solid argument that it contains. As I see it, the central argument is that, like fish, "the haiku are not ours, but come through us." All our effort, therefore, should be to BECOME the kind of person through whom haiku would want to come. Part of this becoming is what Dalvir Gill would call a state of 'no-mind'. This includes many things, but first of all, it includes humility. 2 hours ago · Unlike · 2

  Dalvir Gill thanks Sirdar Ji. I made it a point that the first thing is Humility. Jane is the only one who shows sincerity, Dick and welsh don't follow in their creations what they have theorized in their writings/books.
