{ 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
