Seeing her on the billboard
Was a shock!
A gamut of emotions
Reeled him.
They had been lovers
But, he had only possessed.
It had been his vanity
To think they will
Last forever...
He prided himself
At his prized catch;
He just took n took
His greed boundless
A glutton, he feasted
On her body
Mixing up lust for love.
A sloth, he had invited
Her wrath.....And,
She broke her shackles
Unrestrained, she grew
Yet, envy was all he felt
Seeing her on the billboard.

DeleteInteresting take on the picture. I pictured the man as the victim; you saw the woman as the victim...though a woman who came out strong in the end.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah you know I love this...she comes out strong, and he got what he wanted and where did that get him? Looking at her face on a billboard. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteIncorporating all seven deadly sins into one narrative is quite the accomplishment. Well done!
