One Enchanted Eve’n-ing…

At loose ends,

God fashioned Adam

first of Men,

from über Dad

and finding gaps,

then added Madam

—Brink of Night He carved from Rib,

giving her a whittled fig’

an “hour-glassy” scrimshaw chick…

Despite the paring – —

–Madam grappled,

(hidden urges)

banned in chapel,

& after sharing

♣ Adam’s Apple ♣,

ditched his Pip to kiss a Toad

–who as most know from lore of old

can alter Toad’s genetic code…

Since well-disguised

• by warty outers •

resided prince with

~ morphing power ~

trumping Airs

of diner dour

–whose table manners lacked noblesse–

needed breeding and finesse

a want for which she sought redress

to move as maid

from biased Garden

to flyest pad & lily pardons

where dual acts are not regarded

with views unkind & spirits hardened

–and thus when Madam

>made from ribs<

kissed her Adam’s

nemesis

it made Dam glad that this exhibit

did in no way Adam

mimic

a truer pairing –

almost mythic!

–was

♠ Eve of Night ♠

&

♥ Prince of Ribbits ♥

    Certainly very interesting and provocative as well as evocative imagery. Truly enjoyed this.

      Thanks, Pat. It was fun tying the leap from the lily pad of Froggy Prince–the ribbit–to the garden & Adam & Eve–the rib girl.

      Twas an adventure for me, too! Super fun to actualize, and thank you a LOT for saying.

      You’re welcome – and well, I’m enjoying the journey and process too 🙂
