That little devil had not a chance. Great poem.... God bless all poets-MJG.
Beautiful and powerful. I read this transfixed with foreboding; its logical conclusion was as ominous as one would fear and expect.
I loved the wit in this poem, brought a knowing smile to my face. I like how it flows, its a very smooth read. And the delicious ambiguity at points is flawless. Fantastic write 10+

Genisis Renaissance, indeed, Fay....a brilliant interpretation of The Origin of the Nephilim....In fact, tho' King James architected a most comprehensive adaptation...i must confess, that your version is far less abstruse & (do i dare risk a sudden bolt of ethereally delivered lightening, by saying) , a might more intuiging...? ! Solid Penning, young lady! FjR
A modern reworking of a biblical myth a past attempt to explain the past. There are so many alternate myths of creation and prehistory who knows what is true I enjoyed the read though
This is quite an outstanding poem, Fay, one that is inventive yet quite accurately characterizes the general meaning of the sixth chaper of Genesis. You quite deftly created a very effective summation of the lesson that chapter speaks about, clothing it in a language most readers could easily understand. Your conclusion of this interesting poem is quite brilliant, especially that final line, which certainly leaves the reader wondering. Carl.
