So lovely, Sergeant. Of course whenever a poet evokes Shakespeare my heartstrings sing, as he was a literary genius, if not an actual genius.

Much enjoyed reading,

Gloria

Eve a beautiful name that to me brings memories of the twilight, the bringer of the stars that dance in the sky for all to love. May your garden have flowers that bring a smile to your face and love to your heart. May their blooms be fruitful so they may bring life to the heart in this garden of Eden. I like your poem. Thank you for sharing.

SERGEANT FLOYD:

The sights and sounds in Virginia are awesome, aren't they? (VA girl here)
Shakespeare didn't always get it right, for certain, but the WORD is always
right. I think it's fantastic that God allowed Adam to name all the animals.
thanks for sharing

What an excellent read and it certainly ( I think) makes the reader think about their own name and its origin and for that matter the names of everything, I like this it really gets one thinking, very well done****kahpot

The first verse didn't go with the other three. Unless I'm missing something.

You answer to many names when called.
Daughter, mother, sister, wife
that bring in sheaves of memory
but my heart would choose right
to call you only Eve
while we have our garden being
in Eden.
My favorite verse
God bless

interesting take on the old biblical story I getting of God parading the animals in front for the naming, what point of reference would he have. Nice work Sgt........ meeshu

Overall impression: well done. I liked the theme of names. I did have some trouble figuring out where one line ended and another began. Sometimes you capitalized the next line, sometimes it seems like you started a new line, without capitalizing it. The first stanza felt a little busy, or scattered, but the other three were more focused. With the first one, it was hard for me to get a grasp of what you were trying to say. I also liked your ending.
