My Gerunds Were Ghastly

I Are you fascinated with languages Including all swear words, and vulgarities Some actually are as pleasant as cakes But serious questions about LIGHTNING: It is a gerund; the happening is the THING Making a verb into a noun, as we do with FEEL-ing II Moving on from lightning and feeling - The top of the line on offer is LOVING As with theology, so with biology and matrimony: The better part is in doing: "love" is nothing But a word, if there is no actual LOVING And what if God were LOVE in the abstract Less loving and grace, as in the Older Covenant?

Hi! Anil, This is an intesting poem on languages. I often wonder where half of these words come from. Interesting topic!...Blessings ~ Debra
