SIN-o-NYMS, 3c



Lines Based on Synonyms for the Seven Deadly Sins
SEVEN DEADLY SINS: envy, gluttony, greed or avarice, lust, pride, sloth, and wrath

Greed (c): avidity

A strong surge of avidity
Surged through and motivated me.

I ran out to that Best Buy store—
Bought many things—then bought some more.

I took all home—but had no room—
And felt a thick’ning cloud of gloom.

Then—storage units!—what a thought!
A place for everything I’ve bought!

And now, of course (blush on my face),
I’ve filled each unit in that place!
