Gordy! You love! This is just what I needed, at this point in my investigations! You've always impressed me with having your spiritualism so solidly incorporated, and, I do remember how you lay in your own blood... Perhaps I am looking for the forest enveloping the trees. Too much, too soon, but, damnation, you've got to use a mind when it starts flying! You know what I mean?Tell me, please, of other women in the Bible. Other Marys, for instance. I still see a sonnet, Sybilled.
And, I love the way you said Adam 'pulled Eve out of his side'. To me, the first reference of woman in the bible, Genesis 1:27, is innocence lost. Not the apple, the act of separation of partnership. That was the original sin. Innocuous. Unintentional. Accidental, in relation to what would come from Earth-Genesis.
And, thank you for the link, it eases my mind to have a resource for searching for the exact meaning of an olden used word. Their world was not ours, their words meant other-things.
As far as trying a 'form' of poetry, Gordy, the sonnet is supposedly specialized, but, it's just an excercise to greater freedom of poetic relief. Any attempts at forming poetry can only lead to betterment of the craft. Give it a try, would you? :)
