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.
