Seven Deadly Sins (Pride)
Boasting myself in a costume of glory
It may be the most deplorable sin
but it is as beautiful as I
I'll compete with the Greater Being
I do believe I can win
I often wonder
Is pride really the worst sin?
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words:
So, my new project is the Seven Deadly Sins, I shall post each (Sin) day by day. Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride. Then i shall join them together to make a full Poem.

Hi dear Teddy:
there's nothing wrong with being proud of one's personal achievements in life. However, false pride is vanity, pride in wealth or personal appearance. I'm proud of still being a contributing member of the human race--proud of knowing some nice people like you and others on this site. Jerry

I rather like...
the line "Boasting of myself in a costume of glory." I don't get the connection of "My veins are succulent to perfection."
Almost sounds as though you boast of being a vampire! ~ Geez.

Oh
Dear Geezer Ok now i understand, my veins pumping the proud blood making them bulge like boasting my inner self
i'd really like to make this a good one. i thought the first line and the succulent would be the ones that were risky, i shall put my original beginning back. Oh that line for vampires i like very much now, but you are right doesnt fit well here. i will come up with something better, to sshow vanity
Take two
i just took the line out as it really was redundent, thanks for always making me think, i hope you enjoy it better?
Thank you...Teddy
