In the beginning were lustrous flowers
Teeming in noon and nocturnal bowers;
And first blush sunrise on bright blue sky,
And the dreaming groves set to fructify.

In the beginning was the joy of living,
When nature's bounty was always giving;
And the nights were full of stars,
And a much clearer view of Mars.

In the beginning were the rites,
Of brighter days and darker nights;
When all of nature was so rogue,
And abundant blossoms were in vogue!

In the beginning God had a plan
To oversee the destiny of every human,
And Adam and Eve began our family tree--
A fair walk into all eternity!

In the beginning there was song--
Birds sang the whole day long!
And exotic nature free and wild,
The senses were constantly beguiled!

In the beginning magic was there;
In the beginning, vanity fair!
In the beginning, light from above;
In the beginning, there was love!

You are correct. The Beginning was the first poem that I submitted here. I find it very hard to believe that you could submit an awful poem. I just read your Jewels From My Heart, and I found it to be quite lovely, indeed! I am so touched by your kind compliment. Thank you.

The last line is the most important one of all. It would be great if we could all remember this. I like the way you write in the "way" of a sonnet.
