Original Sin -- A flash poem for Tuesday morning

disobedience

 

Adam and Eve were lovers

Lovers bold first lovers old

We are told were way too bold

 

Old Snake, Satan, evil man

Appealed to Eve, "Have a bite"

"It's okay" (forbidden fruit)

 

The apples came tumbling down

So they ate until their fill

God rules, they'd disobeyed.  Out!

From the garden 
So are we

Notes and photos: 

 - Photo is my screen print of Erte's "Adam and Eve" which is copied here "Fair use."  Erte was born in 1892 and died in 1990.  He was of French decent and born in Russia (Wikipedia Link).  Adam and Eve along with more of his works may be seen at https://www.wikiart.org/en/erte .

 

 - I'm Linked with Kerry O'Conner in The Imaginary Garden with Real Toads, FLASH 55 PLUS!, http://withrealtoads.blogspot.com/2017/08/flash-55-plus.html

This is a 55-word piece to meet Kerry's prompt.  She also challenged us to use a piece of Erte's art as inspiration.  This and the Bible prompted me to write the story of Adam and Eve in a 55 Word Flash Poem with Seven Syllables per line 'Syllabic Form'.

 

 - I'm (also) linked with Marian in The Imaginary Garden with Real Toads, The Tuesday Platform, http://withrealtoads.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-tuesday-platform_8.html.  Marian posted there a lovely little poem by Emily Dickinson on Truth.  Mine today is a Bible truth.  Original Sin Wikipedia Link.
