Great Job, very well done. I like the lighthearted down to earth approach at summarizing some of the old testament. Rhyme and structure was fluid and consistent. This was a joy to read. Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you for your kind words - I learnt a lot, and then had to leave most of it out!

Thank you for your kind words - I learnt a lot, and then had to leave most of it out! Yes, a number of people have suggested the Sunday School connection and one lady has already requested permission to use it in her class...

Still a story nonetheless. How we attach meaning to these stories is definitely up to us. The metaphors abound to teach us a clarified view of life. Too bad the lessons are not learned...John

This is so unique and clever. Very creative and original. You have written the Old Testament in such a way as to be easily understood by anyone. Your rhyming scheme is very good with good rhythm.

I gave you six stars because of
the most interesting and creative
way you treated this subject, written
in a light-hearted fashion yet underlying
each word was what has been written for
eons of time.
A clever recitation of the old testament.
Well done

I wish I had a six to give you. This was so well written, it was brilliant. This would be great to read to children, just to give them a taste of the Old Testament. I really enjoyed reading it. Very clever!

Thank you for your kind words, dj - I learnt a lot, and then had to leave most of it out! I've already had a couple of requests for permission to use it in Sunday School - not quite how I envisaged my fame spreading!

Gotta take it where you can get it!

This is a great take in the greatest story ever told. It was amazing the way you constructed with so much love, care, and dedication. A truly work to remember the genesis.

I wish I had a six left - I think most regular churchgoers, like me, and their pastors, would get a huge kick out of this, my friend, with no offense taken at all. This is a wonderful poetic summation of the Old Testament, with excellent cadence, rhyme and humor. You should film yourself reading this one aloud and put it on you tube - I think it would be a hit :-) Brooke

Thanks - seems to be my fate lately to be last in the queue when all the sixes have been given out.:o(
I have had a few people ask if they can use this in Sunday School classes, but YouTube is a different idea - not sure if I could handle the fame and adulation ;o)

My advice about sixes is that you post any poem you think is six-worthy on Sunday morning when everyone has a fresh supply :-)
