Challenge
Of a Snake | $25 of Juice
Write about a snake; physical or metaphorical, abstract or painted, realistic or cartoonish: in poetry or prose. Is your subject akin to the great Jörmungandr or Apophis? Perhaps more humanistic and Machiavellian? Maybe just a simple garden snake on the hunt or perhaps a character in an Aesop fable? The choice is yours, write of a snake. $25 in Juice to my favourite entry.

Anaconda
I was caught in his iron claws
Struggling hard to just breathe.
But he was so strong.
So authoritative
I was helpless.
The surrounding
The environment
Everything was his tyranny
He was adamant
Sucking my life bit by bit
Half swallowed
Being dragged
I was about to lose
But then
It occurred to me
Why????
Just because I am a daughter in an Asian country
And he is my father.
No why the hell I should obey
I rebelled
Was condemned
But I am safe from my anaconda.
It's worth it
