About the Poet
Hello,
My name is Tammy Straube and I am an avid christian poetry writer that has been writing for quite sometime. The poetry that I write is only to 'glorify' God. I write from the heart and I do not
necessarily have one particular style in mind. Previously, my poetry was published on www.christianpoetry.org by crossway publications.
It is with great sadness that I tell you that they have closed that website down due to the new owner not being able to keep up with the
demand of the website. I was fortunate enough to have met some wonderful christian poet's from all around the world there and fortunately enough I am still able to keep in contact with some of them. I also look forward to meeting new christian poet's here and reading their poetry that they write. I hope to be an inspiration to other's as well, with what I write.

Banished


 


From the earth was fashioned,


From the likeness of God, the man;


 


And the breath of life,


Breathed into him.


 


From Adam's rib,


Was fashioned,


A helpmate called the woman;


 


And the breath of life,


Breathed into her.


 


 


The garden, their paradise given


There to live in,


To have of fruit with exception.


 


But the two they fell,


Into a trap laid well,


By the wiley wiley deceiver;


Clever clever he;


 


Approached the woman,


Knowing she, was held high


In esteem by her man;


  


With skillful debate


Was she baited, she ate;


Then she to the man to sate


 


Tasted of the fruit forbidden,


From their eyes, veiled


Innocence slipped;


  


Exposing to them at the hip,


Their loins in full nakedness,


Which they taught to cover


With leaves.


 


From the Lord God ever,


There is no hiding;


He knew of their deeds.


 


 His compassion meted them,


Garments made of skins;


His wrath, banishment


With statuses new defined;


  


So then the woman,


By Adam, was named Eve;


Fitting her function given


By The Lord God; child bearer.



 


Banished then, and sent ,


Out from their garden home;


They went;


Wanderers for a new home.


   


Then Adam slept with his wife


Eve; child bearer.
