A Scent Of Paper The Book Of Genesis Poem #1

In the beginning, God created all,

From the heavens above to creatures small. The earth was void, but with a single word,

God brought forth light, and day was then conferred.

He called the light Day and darkness Night, The first day complete, all was set right.

The firmament He made on day two, Dividing the waters, a sky so blue.

God called it Heaven, and it was good, The gathering of waters, the seas He would Create, and the dry land appeared too,

All was set, and God's work was true.

On the third day, grass and trees He made, Herbs yielding seed, fruit trees that would aid The animals that would come to be,

Birds and fish, and beasts of land so free.

On the fourth day, the lights in the sky, Sun and moon, and the stars up high, Divided day from night, a perfect design, God saw it was good, His work divine.

On the fifth day, creatures of the sea, Whales and all the fish that could be, The sky, He filled with birds that flew, Multiplying abundantly, as God knew.

On the sixth and final day, land beasts, Cattle and all, from the greatest to the least. Then God created man, in His own image,

To have dominion over all, for him to presage.

God saw His works, and all was very good, Each step completed, as it should.

With a joyful tone, we celebrate,

God's work of creation, the world so great.

Poem #2

A song of creation, a story to be told,

of the heavens and the earth in days that were of old.

God worked for six days, making all the host,

and on the seventh day,

He rested like a gracious host.

This seventh day was blessed, for on it God had rested,

and so it was made holy, for man to be invested.

God formed man from the ground, and breathed life into his soul, and in Eden's garden fair,

his place was made whole.

Every tree did grow

to give man what he needs, and the river did flow

to water all the seeds.

God then saw that man should not be all alone,

and so from his rib did make a partner to be shown.

Adam called her woman, for she was made of man, and the two did become one according to God's plan.

They were naked and unashamed, living in sweet harmony,

this story of creation is a joyful symphony.

Poem #3

The serpent whispered sly and low, Did God really say? Don't you know You're missing out? Eat of this tree You'll be like gods, just wait and see.

The woman looked and took a bite, Her husband too, without a fight

They saw the truth, they saw their shame And hid from God, afraid to name.

But God called out, Where are you now? For unto Him all things are bowed

They lay their blame on others' choice But consequences have a voice.

The serpent slinks and crawls away Banished, cursed for leading astray Man and woman toil and sweat

For their decision, their regret.

Yet God, in mercy, clothes their shame And whispers hope, the serpent maimed From Eve will come a saving seed

To crush the head and end the greed.

So from the garden man was sent To live in a world of punishment But still, the way to life remains Though fiery sword, it still sustains.

––––––––

Poem #4

From the seed of Adam and Eve,

Came Cain and Abel, siblings we believe, One tilled the earth, the other kept sheep, Their offerings to the Lord they did reap.

The Lord accepted Abel's gift, But Cain's offering gave him a rift, Envy and anger filled his heart,

And he took his brother's life apart.

Punished by the Lord for his deed, Cain's curse and mark he did receive, Banished to wander for all his days,

A warning to others to mend their ways.

But from Cain came a lineage of men, Builders, musicians, and craftsmen And from Adam and Eve's next son,

Came Seth, the start of a new generation.

From Seth and his offspring, the earth grew, And men upon the Lord they knew, Though sin remained, a glimmer of hope,

As humans sought to walk the righteous slope.

Poem #5

Generations in the book of Adam's kin, A family line that lives within.

From Adam to Noah, the line goes on, Their lives recorded in chapter and song.

Adam and Eve, the first of their kind, Male and female, were redefined.

Seth was born, the family grew,

For eight hundred years, Adam's line knew.

Enos, Cainan, and Mahalaleel,

Each one lived for many a year to feel. Jared, Enoch, and Methuselah,

Their names remembered in the Bible's tela.

Enoch walked with God, and he was taken, A life almost three hundred years forsaken. Methuselah, the longest to live,

Dying at nine hundred sixty and five.

Lamech and Noah, in their time, A son was born to end the line.

Shem, Ham, and Japheth, offspring and more, A family tree that we adore.

Poem #6

In ancient times, the world was full of strife, Evil thoughts consumed every man's life.

But there was one just and perfect man, Noah walked with God, following his plan.

The Lord spoke to Noah, "Build an ark of wood, Fill it with creatures, two of each, for good.

For I will send a flood to cleanse the land, To wash away wickedness with my hand."

Noah obeyed, following every command, Pitched the ark inside and out with his own hand. He gathered the animals, both large and small, And stored food for them, obeying God's call.

Then the rain poured down, the floodwaters rose,

But Noah and his family were safe within the boat's closed doors. For forty days and nights, the rain did not stop,

But they trusted in God, and made it to the mountaintop.

So let us remember Noah as an example, Obeying God's will, even when it's hard to handle.

For with faith and obedience, we too can rise above, Like Noah did, with God's boundless love.

––––––––

Poem #7

The Lord spoke to Noah with command, To build an ark, a worthy stand,

And gather creatures of the land, A flood to come to wash the sand.

Noah listened and followed through, Obeyed the Lord in all he knew, Taking with him the chosen few, Male and female, each creature true.

Rain poured down for forty days, Water rose above their gaze,

All on earth, life in a daze,

But for Noah, the Lord had paved.

All the earth was filled with flood,

All creatures drowned in a muddy mud, But Noah and his family, a holy bud,

Remained alive with gratefulness as their mood.

An ark protected them, a holy hive, As every living substance dived,

Into the abyss, with nothing to survive, But Noah and his kin, still alive.

The waters rose for a hundred fifty days, Noah and his family, in the ark, always,

In their hearts, they sang with joyful ways, The Lord's greatness and righteous grace.

––––––––

Poem #8

God remembered Noah and his ark,

The waters asswaged and the world became stark. Every living thing was saved,

As the fountains stopped and the rain was restrained.

After a hundred and fifty days,

The waters returned and the ark stayed.

Noah opened the window and sent out a raven, But it returned as the waters still haven.

Then, a dove was sent to find dry land, But it returned with no place to stand.

Seven days later, the dove was sent once more, And returned with an olive leaf in its store.

One more week passed and the dove flew away, Never to return, on a bright sunny day.

Noah and his family left the ark,

And built an altar to give thanks and praise.

God smelled the sweet savour of the offerings made, And promised not to curse the ground in the same way. Seedtime and harvest, winter and summer,

Day and night, shall not cease, forever and ever.

Poem #9

From the flood, a new world emerged, Noah and his sons blessed, they surged Be fruitful and multiply, God said, From the earth let life be led.

With fear and dread upon each creature,

To Noah and his kin, they'll show deference in
