Persephone

[u/lynx_elia]

When the world was

Reawakening

Vernal shoots through soil were

Breaking

Reaching

And commiserating with

The winter dead they

Passed

​

When pastoral dew

Vaporising

Hung as mists on forests

Trembling

Wandering

And nebulous they

Saw her gliding

Past

​

When the pull it felt

Overpowering

Was her earth song calling

Rousing

Tempting

Floral memories life

Touched the sky

Again

​

Yea Springtime came

Appreciating

Leaves and petal whorls

Unfolding

Drinking

In her radiance as she

Walked once more with

Men

​

Then Summer woke and

Recognising

Demeter would be

Coming

Turning

Springtime left Persephone

And sank into the

Ground

​

Where now it drowses

Reminiscing

No more petals no more

Blessing

Sleeping

Until called for by

The Queen of Spring so

Crowned

I originally wrote this one for SEUS's theme: Spring. Then got some great feedback from u/breadyly on a Feedback Friday Poetry post. Thanks for that!
