Unforgivable vanity Egotistical excess Inexplicable lust Roaring ugly beast Green wicked eyes Cold stone heart Ruthless Greed AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on March 21, 2018

Well-melted, Line...You've sifted the topic, and extracted its essence...And, oh, those green wicked eyes: The Snake Himself approacheth -- En garde! Should do well in the contest, methinks. Best of luck! ;) gw

Greed - the anti-spiritual characteristic. I STRONGLY and TOTALLY agree with your accurate poem; greedy people probably wouldn't agree initially because being greedy they would want many, many, more lines. Takes good to see the good in the smallest of large blessings. This poem is a truth-gem! Poetry hugs ... CayCay
