My god gave me, Adam, life in Earth's Garden of Eden,

Sure, whoever does not care to read this beautiful poem, stand to lose a fantastic poetic experience.
Unni, many thanks for generous comments. Now we'll see if anyone else dares to comment. Hell, maybe no one else will read. It may be THEIR loss more than mine. bri ;) : )
Part 4. "God has an axe to grind" should be an apt title for your next poem.
I don't recall ever seeing your comment and maybe I never did. HMM? 'God has an axe/ax to grind'? ? Maybe SHE does! ! !

;)))))))))))))))))))) INDEED I WOULD be there 'for you' and others! ! ;)
Part 2. The overt sarcasm on God is what enjoyed, "After all, garden needed weeding"… It is after all, his garden and he needs to take care of it. So he sides with ‘Serpie', naturally. God, just like humans, can selfish…😀

Wow! That is good! I don't have the analytical or word skills that you possess. But I loved the poem. So beautifully captured the feeling of solitude of Adam
oops! ! ! 'On Eve and I it spat.' SHOULD 'read': 'on Eve and me it spat.' It took LESS THAN two years for me to catch my typo, which I probably won't bother, now, to correct. ;))
