My Poetic Bible
It's endless what one can do with poetry.
Many projects of inspiration often come to me.
Such a project came to mind just the other day.
A total rewrite of The Bible but in a poetic way.
If I were immortal, this is a project I would vigorously pursue,
but I've only one lifetime
I'd never complete this before my life was over and due.
Here's an example of how I would begin.
Mind you, I was bored in 5th grade class doodling
when the following beginning of my poetic bible was written.
It all began at the end of a week.
God created all that is and all that ever would be.
God then created Adam and provided for him
a wondrous paradise. The Garden of Eden.
This was heaven on earth, no strong, no meek,
but Adam had no companion, no mate so to speak.
God then took one of Adam's ribs and created Eve.
Adam and Eve were now loving companions eternally.
God then said, "Enjoy this paradise my loving children.
This is all yours forever, provided you don't sin.
I was writing the above while bored in catechism.
My nun teacher took it away from me and then threw away what I had written.
