For Charlie Smith: Paradise Lost and Human Nature

SENRYU dedicted to Charlie Smith: May 7, 2017.

idyllic orchard many fruit trees – but a tenth – His tithe, we stole, ate
Adam and Abel saw life and blood sacrifice Cain gave God veggies
we bribe God on terms we choose - one Son loved Father - we nailed sins on Him
what love is this LORD You paid for disobedience with BLOOD of Jesus

Thrice Blessed One, thank you. Glory to God - Charlie simply visited & thought this form suits me best (No criticism, just direction). I love wise people, especially wise men like Charlie, Demetrious Trifiatis, Paul Callus, Old Emu Man ... they bring back villages we used to have. Now you & Jan Allison are wise, but younger than us middle-aged & older men! Shalom, shalom & may all PS glow in the power of Jesus & Holy Spirit. amen. Shalom to each PS writer

Good Morning Anil. I found this exceptional and top level writing. Each individual entry is expressive. However, the last is most powerful and so beyond true. Be proud of your execution in its entirety. You are doing well with this style and form that truly is unique. Have a wonderful morning and day. Shalom PS. I'm certain Charlie will appreciate this and your thoughts.
