Women'll get you in trouble every time. This double nonet is fantastic. You've even added rhymes! Only a poet of real ability and self-assurance would take on (let alone make a triumph of) such a difficult poetic challenge.

You told the story of Adam and Eve's fall from grace very well, my friend. I enjoyed reading this poem very much. I wish you well in the contest.

There is a good story within a poem here and it is also spiritual in nature. I think you did a good job of writing a poem that rhymes and that tells a good story. Nice!

Author--Although, the title is a biblical/historical give-
away and the artwork captures Eve red-handily plucking the
"forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge," poet's tell-tale rhymes and allits of "F's"; "O's"; "T's"; "I's," not only seal the deal, but also provide sonorous harmony for this pious entry for the contest. Good luck. teafor2

Very well done nonets. They cover the entire story. I like that you rhymed these clever lines. The way you have presented this with the art to match is great!

I like the way you used a nonet in the first part and reversed it in the latter. My one criticism is not related to poem form but to what the actual account in Genesis says. Read it and nowhere will you find it says what the fruit was.

Good evening. Exceptionally written and beautifully lamented in a format depicting an hour glass as to highlight the passage of time how we all suffer today, all of born in what appears to be original sin. Great job and cheers.

Your well-written poem describes what was--has always been--human nature, to want the one thing we aren't supposed to have in lieu of the many good things we have free access to.

Still teaches us all those lessons, which we still choose to ignore, written with a little fun to, which is what life is all about....
