Beauty of the Book
Based on the book of Genesis
In the dawn of time, creation's tale unfolds, In Genesis, an ancient saga swirls. His divine breath ignited life in the void, The cosmos born, celestial bodies deployed.
The Garden of Eden, pristine and fair, Adam and Eve, it's sovereign pair. Forbidden fruit they dared to taste, A fateful choice, innocence erased.
From Cain's dark deed to Noah's ark, The flood's wrath, the world turned stark. A covenant sealed, a rainbow above, God's promise of grace, unending love.

The rainbow has two ends one the forgiveness of God of men for their deeds and the other the forgiveness of men for God's destruction of the flood. Well worded this poem that is Biblical in its story. Nicely done.
That is a great veiw, concise and to the point. Thank you Soren!
For me one of the best opening portions or segments is the account of the world’s first tailor/dressmaker. But all of Genesis is quite amazing. 🙏🏻🕊
Not to be competitive, but I would love to see your view of "the world's first tailor/dress maker". Would you be willing to write on the topic?
I was just toying with the idea. And I shall endeavour to get back to you on it. Thanks kindly. 🙏🏻🕊
A can do attitude, I like it.
What’s the use of dwelling in what couldn’t be done, it seems a bit counterproductive 😊
LA, my friend, you’ve crafted a beautiful poetic summary of Genesis here. These verses totally capture the essence of creation, the fall, and the flood with vivid imagery and elegant rhyme. Just beautiful. Also, your final stanza is especially powerful, moving from the darkness of Cain’s dastardly deed to the hope of healing, restoration and wholeness symbolized by the rainbow. That transition from “the world turned stark” to “God’s promise of grace, unending love” faithfully encapsulates the overarching theme of redemption found in Genesis and the Bible as a whole. Again, my friend, well done on this! 🌹👏 An easy fave for me.
All Glory to God, I am happy you enjoyed it.
Excellent write
Thank you Tony, I am glad you enjoyed it.
You're welcome
I wonder if it is really Eve who ate the apple, why is it called "Adam's transgression"? I wonder if there is more to the story
The reason for that is Eve was made to be Adams helper. Ultimately the responsibility was on Adam. No sexism implied, just factual made from his rib.
She wasn't *actually* created from his rib though, right? I thought it was just symbolic how they were one in purpose or something
The Bible describes God putting Adam into a deep sleep, removing the rib to create Eve.
Genesis 2:21 says, "So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh".
I ought to do more gospel study!
