SIN-o-NYMS, 7u



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


Wrath (u): pugnaciousness

Pugnaciousness—a lengthy word
That I don’t often use.
It’s kind of funny, such a word,
Describing a short fuse.

Pugnacious folks are primed to fight—
It doesn’t take a lot:
A little provocation, and
They fast turn boiling hot.

Perhaps some punches fly? Some kicks?
Perhaps a filthy curse?
Among the sins there aren’t a lot
That really are much worse.
