Adam And The Rib Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDFGHHIJKLBMBNOG PQ BB B| Why did Adam need Eve | A |
| Did God create her not as a lover | B |
| But as a filler of a void of solitary | C |
| Although he had everything | D |
| Nothing was ever enough | E |
| No angelic being | D |
| No alluring beast pleased his rapacious mind | F |
| Not even one formed of his own rib | G |
| Part of him | H |
| With him | H |
| Maybe he lived like this as he was crafted from dust | I |
| So hollowly devoid of life he needed to engulf himself in other wonders | J |
| But nothing ever truly satiates does it | K |
| Temptation | L |
| A clasping hand dragged his mindless figure | B |
| And still his taste | M |
| His hunger | B |
| His yearn for fulfilment remains | N |
| As all men do I have learnt | O |
| He blamed his faults upon his rib | G |
| His form | P |
| His only truly soulful part | Q |

| He never wanted her | B |
| He never needed her | B |
| - | |
| She was nothing but a placeholder | B |

Poet's note: I wrote this poem about the story of Adam and Eve from Genesis. You see, everyone has always blamed Eve for the faults. I however believe both were to blame. This poem is my thoughts on that story. Enjoy!
