A small word with a long story. ‘Sin’ never began in archery. This Word Card traces its Germanic roots and explains how a modern sermon metaphor took hold. greatexpectationseducation.uk/musings-word... #etymology #wordstudy #advent #biblewords #hamartia
#Hamartia Greek word meaning "to miss the mark" #Apocalypse Matthew 13:49 #Matthew1349 #Shingekinobahamut #rageofbahamut #Anime The Bible verse describing seraphim with six wings of fire is #Isaiah62 Isaiah 6:2
They banned the question mark:
"Disgraceful arc
of ifs and maybes!
#Hamartia of the print ages!
Following whats and hows and whens and whys!"
Her point and curliecue of enquiry
wiped from our symbology.
So, we slide slowly into definitive.
Everything is surely writ?

A lesser known myth is of Achilles’ brother,
Also bathed in Styx by their mother
Twas not his heel that formed his #Hamartia
Because he later died of Chlamydia.
The image depicts two items in a picture frame made of orange wood carved in intricate rectangular patterns. One item is a long white ash bow with a crimson red bowstring. The other item is a book, purple threads rising from its pages to form a beautiful nightshade bloom. This is, The Beauty and the Beak
A bird-headed woman obliterates a frog-like creature with a magic arrow through the head that explodes like a shotgun blast of rock shards.
A man in a white robe uses magical threads to puppeteer a monsters corpse.

We'd reached the end of the line, which was also the start of the line for mum and dad. Maybe all lines are like that. There isn't a start and an end. Every line is a Möbius strip and our #hamartia is that we never see it. We see circles as straight lines and are forever looking for the end.
#vss365
Her hamartia was not hunger,
but the ache to know.
A serpent smiled—
she reached.
The fall was only tragic
because she dared to taste
the truth.

‘When they write the story of life,’said Fred, striking a pose, ‘they’ll say my #hamartia was I was too kind’
Lis & Jay looked at each other & mouthed, ‘vanity’.
"I'll try the #Hamartia," Bob said, reaching for the steaming bowl. "It’s harira, not a Greek tragedy," she smiled. "It was nice of our neighbour Amina to bring it after hearing you sneeze in the garden." Even with dulled senses, Bob took in the wonderful aroma.

in the land of songs where gold turns grim,
and verses vanish on a whim,
we gather with ruin wrapped in flowers
to toast our flaws at #Hamartia Happy Hour

My Hamartia for
unique unheard words
led me to this
Thought
it would be tough
to write
finally get some respite
from onslaught of patriotic
fervor and boxers delight
But it was not to be!
I heel to your determination
and yield
#hamartia
#vss365
A broken clock is only right
twice a day,
but what about a broken country?
What about hurt, destruction,
burnt wings, hamartias, mistakes,
and for some- misplaced trust
and choices regretted.
Falling from the sun,
we were never really
that close I guess
but maybe one day
#vss365 #poetry #hamartia
A house of cards
Comes crashing down
#Hamartia weighed
Upon the scales
Against the innocence
Of our humanness
That had always been
Stricken by duality
A glass hand too soft
For its own good
Irreversible fractures
Splintering deep
To the marrow
From one too many
Mistakes
#vss365
In fading arcs, a tale is spun,
A fleeting blaze, outshone, undone,
The star that gleamed, now lost afar,
Doomed by its own #Hamartia.
#vss365
We live this life
believing in justice,
truth, that people
say what they mean.
Sad to know this
#hamartia we lean
into will bring us
to our fatal end.
#vss365 #poetry #writingCommunity #Hamartia (n) means tragic flaw.
We scroll
through unfiltered thoughts,
collecting some,
leaving no secrets.
Digital dynasties
cash in on our #hamartia—
the social creatures we are.

#Hamartia
Fatal flaw
I have many, but
Not fatal-yet
My flaws have given me
Good times
Excellent times
Some regrets
Many regrets
I was perfectly flawless
Once
Never to be forgotten
I accept my non fatal flaws
#Hamartia will catch up
One day I’m sure
I’ll accept it with open arms
#vss365
Call it #hamartia
as I push you away.
Were the Fates kinder
I'd much rather stay.
But right at my heel
is the trip of my fall.
I run, that my distance
will protect you all.
So take my advice,
let me go, let me flee:
Nemesis rarely lets
bystanders be.
#vss365
Sometimes it’s inertia
Sometimes inactivity
That acts as the #hamartia
Or actually sets us free
It’s hard sometimes
To know just what to do
But we learn with time
What’s good and right
And true
What in life
Is important to you?
#vss365
Your smile
is the door
I never have
a key to.
Each laugh
a curtain drawn,
each joy
a locked room.
My hamartia
is loving
too quietly,
too completely.
You live
in the sun
while I press
against the glass.
Unseen,
uninvited,
still calling it love.
#vss365 #poetry #hamartia
There are many who wish to see the downfall of Trump his #hamartia
We used to hope as citizens
For his success
We now say nope to the denizens
Of this distress
Rather we choose to follow the #flag
& what it has long meant
& to not let them drag
The flag to then be rent
#tHartigan
