Notes About The Poem

The basic human form is female. If there is a "y" chromosome, the fetus "mutates" from the female form in utero to develop into a male human. Thus, if humans were created in the image of God, I maintain that God must be female in nature, not male, which would mean the story of Adam and Eve is backwards. Adam would have been created from Eve's "rib", not the other way around!

Of Adam's Rib

Adam, consort, spouse to Eve,
to no other must he cleave.
She, created first of clay,
Adam followed the next day.

Eve, divine, celestial spark,
crowned to rule the patriarch.
Adam, gift to Eve, her mate—
he is hers to subjugate.

If you think me turned around,
you will see where truth is found.
From his rib she could not come.
Female is the primal one.

Adam did not come before,
as is told in script and lore.
Adam's form— altered and flawed;
woman is the shape of God.

John Howard July 18, 2023 at 2:07 PM Yikes. I’m smiling. An insight to contemplate: is God male or female? How about both! Katharine L. Sparrow July 21, 2023 at 5:19 PM Yes, John, I don't think of God as either male or female, myself. But IF humans were made in God's image, then God would be female in nature. For me, God is really neither male nor female.... but a mysterious source of all in the universe.

Paige Hind July 9, 2023 at 1:28 PM Hey there! Very beautiful; makes the reader think. I want to say, look up God's name. It will answer a lot of your questions... regards, just me! Paige Hind July 18, 2023 at 4:38 PM Thanks for replying to me. All the best, just me! Katharine L. Sparrow July 9, 2023 at 9:51 PM God is female in nature, rather than male. She is a mother, not a father. Didn't we always know that women are the "model" of the human being? Men are merely a variation to enable procreation of the species. Women rule! *smile*

Paula Goldsmith July 9, 2023 at 12:10 PM WOW!!! A powerful write with much to think about. Maybe one day we will find out. Have a blessed day.............. Katharine L. Sparrow July 9, 2023 at 9:53 PM We already know that the female is the "model" of the human being. Men are a variation on that basic human form. Yay for Goddess! Thanks for reading and commenting!
