Bundle of Joys

Her smile shattered by the sadistic.
Eve became a statistic.

The serpent tied the sling.
Claustrophobic catastrophe - frail wing.

Her bundle of joys
blown to smithereens, her angel boys.

It is said that Eve die well after Adam. Maybe she repented her misdeed. Lovely poem.

The word sadistic puts this poem in a very dire genre. It may be concerning the two babies who were murdered by Hamas. Everyone is eternally horrified by it. This isn't a beautiful poem, but it is one that should be read. Thank you for your concern.

Ugh, so raw - hurts to read it. If you're writing about what the comments said, about Gaza and all, it's time that someone did. Children are so beautiful, it's terrible that people would intentionally do them harm.

Cool title. Not sure if this is THE Eve and the ending is referring to Cain and Abel. Or maybe this is metaphor for a modern horror?

A modern horror, indeed…

Are they sad joys? Or is it sad joy?

A saying in America is a child being a bundle of joy. Joys in this case to indicate 2 children.

Hi Kim, sounds like a take on the recent hostage release of deceased siblings in Gaza & search for their mother, I could be wrong
