Sara Kendrick Poet Clerihew

Notes About The Poem

Ananias and Sapphira Were Lovers

There was a Biblical character, Ananias
Whose personality traits were surely manias
He was  a liar, liar, liar
Minus the Holy Spirit hit hell's fire

Ananias had a wife named Sapphira
Who swayed like the palm, palmyra
Her desire was to husband who was a liar
Now she is roasting in that hot hell fire  

Manias- an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action

This clerihew taken from Biblical passage Acts 5: 1-10, loosely interpreted

Andrea Dietrich January 18, 2019 at 6:54 PM so interesting how you did this on Biblical characters!! this is a pair I do not recall reading about! Sara Kendrick January 19, 2019 at 7:34 AM Andrea, It is in the New Testament so it is free for the reading. Sometimes it helps to refresh out memory on certain Biblical passages. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

I am glad you like the funny part except it really isn't funny but painful to know that someone or two people made his a horrible mistake. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Your comments are always uplifting. Their or his motive was simply impure and she loved him and followed him instead of the Holy Spirit. Sara
