Rating: 5.0

From the Heavenly Paradise all grace had fled
Adam knew there was no recompense for his act
Against his crime, God would violently react

Since then, the blaming game is conveniently played And the onus of our actions on others shoulders laid As from Adam to Eve and from Eve to Satan Cleverly passed over our accountability's baton! ....nice poetic expression. A beautiful poem so nicely painted. Thanks for sharing.10

Very well done, Valsa. Thanks for inviting me to read it. Much more detailed than my version ('What Really Happened in the Garden of Eden') . Happy New Year to you!

i can't tell if dinesh nair aka Dinesh Nair is being serious or 'cute' in his comment. hmmm? i capitalize my name(s) outside of PH. does that mean i'm glorifying myself? ? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - there is much i really enjoy about this poem/fairytale? thanks, Valsa aka valsa, for sharing. i may send more later in a message. :) bri some nice rhymes. Satan/dragon was clever. i don't recall (from many, many years ago, when i was a good christian/Christian) the pact. did the lovely pair actually agree to some rules, or were they just told 'the rules'? ? was their attorney present? the last line bugs me, but we can't ALL be perfect poets, can we?

what I feel that this Blaming others is an inherent quality what we are born with right from the beginning! ! ! ! And we are carrying that baton so immaculately that no one can blame ! ! ! ! ! !

Beautiful poem Valsa. The blaming ball went on passing from one hand to other. Finally Adam, Eve and Satan left us giving the blaming ball. Loved it. Now still the ball is rolling no doubt.

God used to play mischievous games with humans then..... These days there are no games players But losers are plenty around... Why capital letter for 'satan'? Is it the case of another Eve tempted by him to glorify his name?

Her beauty I blame for my love, Her hysteria I blame for strife, Her service I blame for patch-up, Yes I always blame my wife. And my friend Valsa I blame for the above four lines.

Rightly depicted poetically..........Valsa.......this blaming game has been inherited from the days of Adam and Eve.... and this goes on unceasingly and reflects in our day to day activities.........after all this is human nature to pick up forbidden things first even though you are blessed with many a celestial things........A great write as always......
