Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Oral Poetry in the Beginning

Poetry remembers quite well

That it began as an oral art

When Adam and Eve came to dwell

In Eden was when it did start.

Communication humans had

By speech in words in place and time.

God didn't realize how bad

This would go in reason and rhyme,

When some poetic words would take

A devilish turn for the worse,

Started off by the sneaky snake

And ending with words God did curse.

So oral poetry did begin,

Eve said Adam, "Sin is in."
