Monday October 18, 2010 POETRY POTLUCK -- Seven Deadly Sins



Since sin itself is an archery term.
Meaning to "miss the mark."
If one were in battle,
To miss the mark seven times,
Might be deadly indeed.

yes, the original 'sin' turns out to be only an error in marksmanship - what we've made of it since is perhaps the real sin.

i didn't know that about archery/sin.....

such strange sounding words
those sins..
sloth, gluttony..
i want nothing to do with them!

Lovely take Annell, but I wonder how sin applies to that chubby little archer, Cupid!
Is it a sin when he hits or a sin when he misses!

Sure might be! I like what you did with this prompt. I enjoy learning something new about the word and to wonder why it might have come to mean that.

Hi. I have been away teaching a workshop and then home trying to get caught up and back into the groove.. my goodness, all seven sin together really would be quite a battle.
