OF GLUTTONY.

One of the 7 deadly sins...

OF GLUTTONY.

In glutinous round, eyes to the table
A veritable banquet’s suggestion
A mouths extension, stomach unstable
Pain’s eruption, chronic indigestion

Who but a pig gorges on pork belly
And leaves not a thing for others to eat
Then wobbles off, fat gelatin jelly
Unsteady, ungainly, trotters for feet

They, who eat to a ponderous weighing
Are fast to a hearty hospital stay
Overweight, heavy plate and now praying
They had distaste, pushing the plate away

Gluttony is greed, an over-indulge
Inconsiderate taste and belly-bulge

Never really did know which sin of the seven is the worst, I'm still learning by trial and error...LOL :) You have depicted gluttony very accurately in your poem.

You certainly hit the nail on the head here. Gluttony....one of the seven deadly sins. Your poetry holds life lessons and is softly spiritual. Good work, Ron. Lydi**

Ah, I nearly missed this comment and now thank you so much for your comment. Now that I have finished all of the deadly sins I can set about letting my breath out and getting on with some romantic poetry. I shall visit your site tomorrow and, once again, thank you.
