                    [098].  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – GENESIS SYNOPSIS
How can you possibly put the book of Genesis into a poem?  The answer is, be brief and try not to miss the main events.  I had the desire to write a Genesis poem and this is the result.
The poem begins of course with Chapter 1 and works to the
