Love Poem: Chimera

    While reading Love Poem Chimera in class, the first thing I noticed was the author's use of descriptive words. Donika Kelly used imagery which better helped me visualize the poem and what was going on. In addition, finding out what a Chimera was and what it looks like helped me understand the use of some words in the poem. Phrases like "what hiss and rumble at the splitting, at the horns and beard" led me to think of different animals with these body  parts and that make these sounds.
