Notes About The Poem

Adam and Eve

Adam, I haven't a care in the world
eating apples or drinking, so absurd

The devil it seems, was his best mate
I laughed when they kicked his butt out the gate

Its Eve that makes me stay up at night
Her kindness, always, like a bright light

Worry I do that she is well and ok
All of humanity has a stake in Eves day

Forever quiet, never one for attention
Yet when angels sang she was there for redemption

She has transcended time and lore till now
I know, for she is the sweetest frau

Her paintings lift up any sad heart
Musings written, all a la carte!

She is one of the greats in the arts
Softly with sweetness, knowledge imparts

She never gave Adam a second thought
For her, ol sonny was all a heart ever sought

Now Cain and Abel had another brother
yet they hated the other, to each they would smother

The other brother is not found in the books
he was too busy writing poetry, down by the brook

The moral of this story is any and none
I just wanted Eve, to smile some!

I can but highly value and venerate Adam for feeling and showing such esteem and reverence for Eve! How beautiful and elegant are your words! How honouring are your thoughts Arthur! A standing ovation for your excellent work of art and heart! Indeed, Eve can but smile and rejoice. A cherished FAV. My deepest regards. Stay blessed always.
