Seven Deadly Sins-Potluck Poem

This weeks prompt for Poetry Potluck is the Seven Deadly Sins....
I did have just a wee bit o' fun with this one!


She lustily sighed "Oh, please just one more"
Enviously eying the one she adored
Oozing with avarice and enormous greed
Her hand lazily reached over with a hungry need
Only to be met with a fierce hot anger
Refusing to admit her crumby fatal flaw
Of caloric intake beyond all awe
No wonder she cannot fit into her tiny size six
Those VooDoo Doughnuts got her into this fix.

    love those voodoo donuts kathew. They're bad and bad for you. I try and avoid them whenever possible. I can't resist their spell.

    You very artfully packed all the sins into one short poem. Nicely done. Always appreciate economy with words

    Ah yes, as they 'say just look for the glowing "Crueller Chandelier of Life" blazing through the windows.' Love those voodoo dolls. Danger Will Robinson.

    You nailed this one down perfectly, a tight write and well crafted in a few words, very descriptive,

    I haven't had any of those Voodoo donuts in a long while,but they are now selling them here in the SE end of town.

    cheers,
