We were asked by Jingle at Jingle Poetry to create around the theme, Seven Deadly Sins. Here’s my take, and you can view other great poets by clicking on her link! Peace, Amy
SEVEN SINS I HAVE COMMITTED (in no particular order)
Wanting more
Staying too long at the party
Clinging to possessions I don’t need
Looking right past nature’s everyday beauty
Chocolate (need I elaborate?)
Giving too much to men who wanted more
Ignoring God (until the Spirit smacked me upside the head)

love the last two lines,
true,
so powerful yet wittily said.
Glad to have you share your wisdom with us,
Cheers!

Jingle, you are a love. Thank you so much. Giving too much to men… that cleared up when I met my husband, who is sooooo willing to give and take.

still, a bohemianism attitude towards life fits some!

Believe me, I’ve been there. My personal life just couldn’t take it – I hold to the activism, though, and the outlook. I just don’t leave the party too late and don’t indulge in certain pursuits, because I’m… an old broad!!

Gotta love it when you get smacked upside the head by the Spirit!

I think the Spirit enjoys doing it, too! 🙂
