    IMPERFECT PARADISE

                       "The day is young", so am always told,
                      But as the years go by, Earth has not become old,
                      Our World can be beautiful,
                      But life can also be miserable,
                      Adam, first born of creation,
                      By Eve, ate the evil fruit of temptation,
                      Leading to miseries and imperfection,
                      With a wail,i say "Man 'o' man, I call the Earth an  
                      imperfect  paradise",
                      And the consequence,Sin,is in us like a parasite.

    A compact conclusion, deftly arrived at. Can the damage done been corrected? I have to think so, or we'd all just be part of a puppet play with no real hope or purpose. Nicely told, Joanna.

    Thank you so much!! this poem was written when i was 13......wondering why we suffer for 2 people's mistake....thank God for His Son....maybe i will write a poem on the "perfect paradise". by the way , ur photo looks great!!! later

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
