GLUTTONY
Gorging for the soul of the lonelY
Leaving false satisfactioN
Undermining the need,for the want.tO
Taste the thrill,filling thaT
Timeless instinct of spontaneous wanT.
Only if for a single reason yoU
Notice the perpetual eviL,
You may survive the reckoninG
-----(((OOO)))-----
WRATH
Waiting for the opportune display of faitH
Raging inside to come forth. Utilizing precise tacT
And timing for that one moment A
Targeted soul will speechlessly feaR
Horrid lifelong anguish in the raW
-----(((OOO)))-----
SLOTH
Suckling off societies teet through almond colored teetH
Lofting genetic shame to a new hieghT
Offering only unseen putrid to those whO
Try to make an honest living without faiL
Having to feed the faceless mouths of the spinelesS
-----(((OOO)))-----
PRIDE
Perhaps the most atonamist of gracE
Rising from ones weakened dreaD
In which to disguise any formulI
Deemed to show ones fears oR
Expose their raw accounts of mishaP
-----(((OOO)))-----
LUST
Longing for any estranged trusT
Unique to the stress of oneS
Sentual need of a climactic gurU
To spontaneously share a moment of lifes luL
-----(((OOO)))-----
ENVY
Engulfing needs that take ones reality awaY
Nostalgically wanting to heighten their lively reV
Very discretely and yet needing to drowN
Years of personal regret for a moments famE
-----(((OOO)))------
GREED
Giving nothing and needing to demanD
Riches from the purses of everyonE
Even if the requirement is to liE.
Evading conscious judgement in the mirroR
Displacing any morality of a human beinG

This is my best colaboration of the seven deadly sins in an awsome double acrostic structure. I think this will open may views and opinions that I always welcome. I'm very proud of this piece.

I think this gave very accurate portrayals of the seven deadly sins, however.. the capitalization at the end of each sentence was a bit distracting.
I'm impressed with this, I've never been one for acrostics, finding it difficult to constrict myself to a particular letter at the beginning of each sentece. I applaud this, well done.
Thanks for taking the time to enter! Best of luck in the contest and very sorry about the delay in judging and commenting.

Unbelievable what have you done to this poem??? IT'S FANTASTIC! Great job,I love the part with the acrostic of envy. That was WILD. Grea job,and good luck.

Very good.
At first I presumed this was gonna be you merely writing whatever fits to accomplish the commendable double acrostic feet which you undertook.
However what resulted were a series of weel written, poetic artistically defined definitions of each of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Excellent work. Best of Luck in the contest.
