Notes About The Poem

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

V- Villainous worship of self, 
A- A needless toxin to all humanity.
N- Noisy self-inflation where others are

Vanity colors every aspect of life and every relationship with an attitude of what about Me rather than what about you. Thank you for this wonderful poem with great perspective. Blessings to you.

I did once read that vanity is an example of pride,which is one of the seven deadly sins. Enjoyed reading your Acrostic poem Miranda.

Re-read this and let me know how my edit went. I showed my husband and he helped me work out some of the problems this had. Glad you like seeing this. As far as how often I post, well that depends on how often I am able to write something that is both satisfying and well finished.
