Snarkstitutes! The Hippogriff & The Ishigaq

 
Hippogriff 

Poet Ludovico Ariosto imagines his hippogriff as crossbred between an eagle and a horse. Artist Uly Poe  reimagines that creature as the fusion of a stallion, a griffin and Senator Bernie Sanders. 
 
A horse-(no lie!)-'n'-eagle scion...?
Why should I care if
he's run to ground. I'd hate to hound
the hipster hippogriff --
tho' don't you think road apples stink...? 
You don't...? Whoa! Take a whiff!








Ishigaq inhabiting host 


Ishia are shapeshifters believed to kidnap (and deport...?), then abandon children.

Nor can I hide the imp inside 
(in fact, I lack the knack).
Be it too late to immolate 
my inner ishigaq...?
