[stylist] Revised Apple I am thoughts

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Metaphor and imagery do not have to be concrete, especially in poetry. I
actually did not conjurer up images of Adam and Eve myself and just saw this
as temptation between two people, young people in particular. Creative
writing can be up for interpretation, particularly with poetry. Personally,
I do not think you need to be so specific about this poem. Whether people
think it specifically about Adam and Eve or not, does not really matter as
long as the underlying intent is clear, which I think it is.

Hello all,

Perhaps my first and last stanza need to be stronger by including what Adam
and Eve used for clothing after they sinned i.e. figs and plants. Perhaps I
could also be more specific about the wife's name instead of just "My wife."
