Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
God said to Adam, “Hold up your palm,”
then wrote several lines on his hand
“Your future,” He said, “to keep you from harm,
should last longer than words in the sand.”
Then He added some lines to man’s face,
deeply He scored, hand moving fast,
“There,” He announced, “that seems the right place
for all to read of your past.”
Line count: 8
Rhymed abab
For Express It In Eight, 12.29.22
Prompt: Palm.
