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.
The slithering of a snake
Tells everyone to be careful.
But the snake is lonely.
And hungry.
The hissing of a snake
Tells everyone it’s danger.
But the snake wants conversation.
And love.
The bite of a snake
Tells everyone their death.
But the snake wants to eat.
And survive
The night.
