This is too wise to be funny...and yet the irreverent kick in the pants with "God gave everybody but Noah and his family the Big Bath" was the perfect chaser for this bracing tall cold one of the "Seven Deadlies!"--- Robyn was write...you're writing is addictive! I started with your first two posts and moved to this one for today... BUT--I'll be back! --Karenina

I like the author's words. I recently made a copy of the Deadly Sins. The author's words define them in a clear understandable way. The artwork
is awesome and compliments both the theme and words of this poem.
These words flow and connect well. Have a great weekend!

I simply love this! Earl, you incorporated all seven deadlies within this verse with impeccable meter and rhyme, I thought.

Got a kick out of the Flood being referred to as God's wrath at giving earth's inhabitants a bath! .. except Noah and family plus all nature's creatures of course
ð???

Delightful.

Yup, it's tough to lead a godly life. I call some of these insidious sins.. They creep up on you.

Good poetic style.

Stay safe healthy and blessed

Hello Earl: I thank you for posting this piece of spiritual wisdom. I see it as spiritual wisdom because it lines up with what the Holy Bible says in the book of PSALMS at chapter # 1. Earl...you have really done a good job here...of letting us know about the 7 deadly sins. I thank you for sharing. God bless you, Earl. cordially: rhonnie69.

Each stanza dedicated to each of the deadly sins. I liked this approach. I was a nice read. Don't downplay your skills. You're poem was great. You just need to tweak your confidence and you'll be good. I enjoyed it. You're meter may not have been perfect but I thought your piece was great anyway!

Dear earl, even if this poem was not promoted, I think it most worthy of a review. I sincerely hope that everyone who reads it, whether they write a review or not, will see those seven deadly sins posted. and having read them, that they may give them A reason to reflect upon the nature of their own life, because the consequences are laid out very clearly.

I like this poem a lot, to me it is very clever. Although meter is lacking at times there still is a pretty good flow. The rhyming, in my opinion, is very good. I suggest deleting these two lines: "As you can see/It's hard for me," in order to keep the four-line stanzas. My one question is won't we all turn to dust?

You did a good job with your deadly sins poem. I enjoyed reading it. You expressed your thoughts and feelings well. I like that you gave each one its own verse. Your words are descriptive, the rhymes work well, and you give readers much to think about in their own lives. The image is a great pairing.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
