Dear Paul, Love your poems of timeless wisdom, and their clarity of insight are a marvel, what endings completely cool, cheri

Thank you Cherl. I see a big resemblance between Eve and Pandora; their actions, in defiance of God/s led to everlasting changes....their effects will be felt till the end of time. // paul

Pandora's box was the seed that fed the world its exciting thrills which include the bad of great danger, misery, death and destruction as well as the highs of facing danger and coming away unharmed! Defy divine laws--them paying the piper becomes a certainty.. A very fine senryu my friend.....

very cleverly penned Paul - I too once wrote about a Pandora's box moment in my life:-( Hugs Jan xx

Paul Callus

January 3, 2015 at 10:19 AM

Hi Jan; I have always been intrigued by both Eve and Pandora...I see the similarities between them, curiosity being one of them, and both had to do with god/s. Hugs // paul
