Into the Garden
Descendant of Eve
Inhabits the Garden
But only at night
In she sneaks picks the lock
God's lock sealing tight
Until this lass did match
With God's wild friends play
Play till Morning rouses
God's perfect Garden
His rule breached one more time

- I'm linked with Kerry O'Connor in the Imaginary Garden at http://withrealtoads.blogspot.com/2019/06/art-flash-55.html?m=1
- Kerry's suggestion was to write as inspired by the engraving. We could also write a Flash (short) poem of 55 words. My poem purposely has 55 syllables not counting the title [also has 43 words without the title].
So this is how Eve lets her hair down. Who knew the honkeytonk was just outside Eden!
ReplyDeleteI like the reference to Eve in this one, Jim.
ReplyDeleteYou've gotta be slick to get away with it!
ReplyDeleteI always thought Eve got a bad rap.
I always knew Eve had skills. :-D
ReplyDeleteI take this as someone other than Eve as you write "descendant" but either way... to break into the Garden of Eden... I don't know, my Catholic self is a bit horrified :)
ReplyDeleteEve never did play by the rules.
ReplyDeleteEve never was just a pretty face, Jim, and rules are made to be broken!
ReplyDeleteI hummed Girls Just Wanna Have Fun while reading this. Eve wants to be the one who walks in the sun and moonlight.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it was a great choice in the end... this is how life is born.
ReplyDeleteOh, Eve..I am so glad you wrote her having fun.
