This is the 21st installment of my weekly Blog Poetry Slam, so glad you stopped on by. I thought maybe today we can write poems about one (or all) of the 7 "virtues"*. Do you accept the challenge? I am gonna share a piece after the picture and another in the comments, please join me... I look forward to reading your poems, they can be short (even haiku), long, serious, or funny: it's up to you! Happy Writing!

Patience is a virtue
Well.....
that is vir-false.
and anyway I'm not so concerned with virtue
I'm too far gone.
And I have no time to wait for you to analyze that.
And I won't ask for it.
Because I don't want lessons in waiting
I want what I want when I want it
I want my red velvet cake..... and I want to eat it..... and I want some milk too.
Yes, imagine that, if I buy a cake I want to eat it too
...too logical I know.
Keep up...
Good things come to those who wait
Yes, that's nice:
But so do bad things
And bad things happen to good people.
So what's my incentive exactly?
....your turn......
*ChastityNext week will be the seven deadly sins... This should be fun!
*Temperance
*Charity
