SIN-o-NYMS, 6a

Lines Based on Synonyms for the Seven Deadly Sins

SEVEN DEADLY SINS: envy, gluttony, greed or avarice, lust, pride, sloth, and wrath

Sloth (a): idleness

Some idleness is sometimes forced—

Like under quarantine—

Or sick, exhausted, or depressed.

We can’t be evergreen.

We must pull up the anchor of

The heavy mood that drags.

And try to prance around a bit—

Like energetic stags!
