Kim Rodrigues Poet Clerihew

Adam and Eve

Adam
tasked with naming Eden’s spectacle.
all was very good -
even quite respectable.

Eve
named the mother of all living things
after she bit the fruit of good and evil’s seed.
Costly to the only couple - the serpent’s cling.

Carolyn Devonshire January 16, 2019 at 2:29 PM Kim, I kept hoping you would change the rhyme scheme to AABB. If you had, your clerihew would have placed higher. Congratulations on your placement. Best wishes, Carolyn Kim Rodrigues January 16, 2019 at 2:34 PM Thank you, Carolyn! Somehow I missed that! I was looking at the “Types of Poems” page where they said usually only the first name is used...oops.

Maurice Rigoler January 11, 2019 at 3:39 PM Kim, why did you say "a flying hearse" to my poem? Where I live a cruiser is a police car, not an airplane. Set me straight, please. Nice clerihew BTW. Best to you in Caroline's contest. / M Kim Rodrigues January 11, 2019 at 3:41 PM Thank you, Maurice!
