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

I am 21 years or older.
