{ Greek Mythology} Chimera...a fire-breathing monster with a lion's head

a goats body, and a serpent's tail

Colorful or Chimera words-update poetry contest

sponsor Constance La France

A lion with a passion so ravenous Unable to be satisfied by love her bite of sensuality poisonous She lives in her empty pit of self-love this shepherd of men, her body of goats who yearn to be fed by her lips of fire then are tossed aside with lumps in their throats after she filled her cavernous desire This darksome snake will often shed her skin After her hunger dies from the goats she bled She will flick out her tongue for their scent again The next time her hunger needs to be fed
