ENVY OF EVE
Oh, Eve!
You know not how you’ve offended me
So happily married
Living by the sea
With two children
Ages one and three
Eve, must you be
So ostentatious flamboyantly
Go-lucky carefree?
Caring-on without
Any sense of humility
Nor decorum or dignity
Eve, don’t misconceive
You will not provoke my jealousy
For its not you I wish to be
It’s your husband Steve
That I envy
Because you married him
Instead of me

It is not the fall that scares me, but it is what is at the bottom of it. Logically, this poem makes sense. But poetry is about emotions. Emotions are not logical. But somehow, it still makes sense. All in all, you confused me. By making it make sense. I'm just returning the favor by confusing you back. Is it working?
Good write.
