Core Attributes

Which came first
   The goddess or the blame
   
   Eve of destruction 
   Lilith playing a game

Thank you so much Scorpio! Not only did I forget that I wrote this, I forgot that I could. I have a brain injury, I can forget myself. BTW, for a spell, prompted by the abortion law’s passing in the US used the moniker The Insolent Rib, until I was asked for a poem to be used by Litfest in the UK, changed it back :))) xomo!

Maureen, brilliant as always. Lilith is THEIR distruction from the very beginning; that's why they don't want to admit her existence.

A thought provoking write, super Mo and a beautiful rhyme, I quite like the idea of the two of them, trouble makers, and seductive flames, cheers David

Eve's got her own brand of cigarettes; Adam's stuck with his apple.The snake's most uncomfortable in his skin; God's created the funeral chapel. ~ Phil Collins and Genesis
