Evil Rising

About the Seven Deadly sins

These evils of which you speak

Hold me tight whilst I dare to seek

The way in which to go

To find that love that speaketh though

Wrath begins as it comes fast

Reaping the mind that it doth grasp

Envy dares to creep in next

A wary qualm with a deadly hex

Greed amounts as wishes grow

Turning into a toxic foe

Lust for that which cannot be

But never unlocking the secret key

Gluttony comes as hunger rises

Trickling in small tempting guises

Sloth will happen as pleasures appear

Taking away the little fear

Pride it ends with all that is

Facing death as life doth give

Those sins that wrap me in thy arms

To capture me in all its charms

I look on them as they see me

Evil in entirety

I loved this... I'll have to favorite it. The flow was amazing, always something I crave in a poem, but rarely find. I'm glad to have read this! You've done an amazing job, keep it up! I would love to read more.

There are lots of good things here, first of all, a great idea, then a clever tempo that drives the poem along,moments of wry humour,lots of good verb use that give it a traditional kind of feeling and at the end a moral message.Good work.
