I like your poem because it lists all of the seven deadly sins, and the consequences of committing them. I like how you formatted the poem and it flowed nicely. Best of luck in the contest. :)

Hello unknown author
I see that you did all the deadly sin.
Well done, I like how you rhymed your poem. And brought out that the seven deadly sins are entwined,
Gert

This is an interesting approach to the contest, Mystery Author. You did a good job expressing what each of the seven deadly sins mean using poetic verse. I like the use of bold font on those sins. I wonder if the CEC will take a negative look at this since the rules tat 'write poem that involves on of the seven deadly sins. Not sure. I'l defer to the CEC. But your poem is till well thought out and presented. Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

A clever poem, mentioning each sin in its own verse. You are right in that they are all intertwined, because they all show a life which is not submissive to God's will - love for God and love for neighbour. Well done.

Clever you! Nice touch to put each sin in BOLD as you created a stanza for each one...

Ah! The great flood! (I was thinking baptism)---both work, for your poetic purpose.

Maybe put LAYS in quotation marks? Not a grammar scholar, but there must be some way to identify it as a brand without slapping a copyright symbol beside it!

Yo list it as humor, and your wit is sharp and clever. Still wisdom it is...we should forge it, never!

Good luck in this contest!

This was fantastic in many ways. The writing style, the tone, the message, and the price we pay with living our life. Great idea to put into bold the seven deadly sins to give such emphasis. Thank you for sharing and I wish you luck in the contest.

I really like this poem! Yeah, I agree that you couldn't pick just one. All seven sins must be written about, and you've done very nicely!
Hope this wins the contest because this is a really great poem! (Should be a big awakening to people, honestly)

You Can't Have Just One


Good entry for the Deadly Sins writing prompt contest but needs some work. The contest calls for ONE of the SEVEN sins, you have all of them.

The context is odd...

"The deadly sins number seven," (the deadly seven sins)

"Avoiding them is hard you will find," (you will find avoiding them it's hard)

"Bragging upon your deeds,
Down to Hell it will lead," (bragging about your deeds will lead you to hell)

Etc....

The rhymes seem forced.

I think if you work on it it will be much better.

I think if we our honest with ourselves we have all suffered from one or more of these sins, I try not to be lazy, eat too much, get angry or envious, stuff myself with chocolate, brag or lust after my neighbour's husband, how difficult life is! Much enjoyed, love Dolly x
