The Gluttonous Fool

The final piece to the seven deadly sins poetry regarding characters from the heroine of 'To End the Crusade's past.

Sparks of jealousy,

Ignite in his eyes.

Interwoven in his policy,

He hides his lies.

 

Innocents killed,

For their power.

He is thrilled,

And never cowers.

 

A woman mated,

He tries to steal.

His desire unsated,

He pretends to feel.

 

Set her alight,

When she refused.

In the night,

She wouldn't be used.

 

A mother's rage,

He threatened her child.

She wouldn't be caged,

His actions so vile.

An apt and unique perspective on the Glutton. And timely in this season of gluttony aping as Thanksgiving.

NOTES: Did you mean: "And never [cowers]."

Ah yes I missed that one as well. Gluttony shows its face most on Black Friday, I'll agree.

Thank you for reviewing this piece!

I posted an essay on the topic myself very recently. I just don't think folks consider the cost to their hearts and souls, nor the cost to others in their gluttonous pursuits.

[Butch Decatoria]

Interesting and unique piece. Thank you for sharing.

Gluttonous ... You can see is spelled with an O.

Good poem ... Kudos.

[Arrinae]

Ah my spell check must have missed that. Thank you for pointing it out.

Very deep, very intense, this is my freaking jam. Keep up the good work, Hime no Yuki. And I need to ask you, is the guy on the left in your profile picture Zero Kiryu?

[Arrinae]

I am glad you like it. As far as the picture goes maybe. It was one of the pictures I had randomly saved on my laptop

[Ryan Henderson]

Ah, because the guy on the left looks like Zero Kiryu from Vampire Knight.

As I read this, I see either Lenin or Stalin...
So effective poem... deep, intense.
Keep it up!

It's actually referencing a character that has appeared in one of my short stories that will make an appearance in the book im writing

[KeithKVH]

I read in one of the reviews this was about that one Templar. Very nice, I feel like I understand him a lot better, and it's quite the poem with the rhyme and word usage.

[Arrinae]

Thank you. I am glad it came out well. I was doing a theme with the seven deadly sins to describe the main cast of the story. Gluttony was the hardest one to do.

[K.N. Thorn]

Outstanding, I love your word choices and expressions. How you not only put gluttony in there but quite a few others and even how they tied back to gluttony. I will have to read the others that go with this piece because this one was really great! Especially for it to be the first one I picked to read of yours.

[Arrinae]

I am glad you liked it! Gluttony was the hardest to do in the theme I was using for the deadly sins and I am quite sure that you will enjoy the others as well.

[Tate Morgan]

Gluttony the one we seem to abhor the most Wonder why that is i guess the starving children round the world tell the tale

[Malister Mikey]

Very good most refer to gluttony with hunger so it is nice to see someone to use gluttony in a none eating way very good job. Great Work

[Arrinae]

I'm glad you like it. I promise this character will be introduced in a short story soon. I'm taking my time writing this one to make sure everything comes across the way I need it to. I'll probably do at least two involving him. One dealing with the events in this poem and one with his introduction, as he had been someone the medic had once trusted. Though I'm sure he'll definitely shed some light onto these Templar of mine.

[Ashira Macy]

A different kind of gluttony than most associate it with, but gluttony all the same, the b*****d. Great rhymes throughout this and it flowed really well. I enjoyed it a lot!

[Arrinae]

Thanks. I was a little worried about how this one might be taken. Gluttony goes hand in hand with lust, greed, and envy and this was the best way I could think of to portray the character I had in mind. He hasn't made an appearance in the short stories yet, though I'm definitely working on it. I might not go into detail of what he did regarding the words of this poem for a while. I'm more working on his introduction. But I will tell you this, he is the first Templar encountered by the Medic.
