Persephone – Digital Art By Kat Myrman ©2017
Deep beneath the warming loam,
sleepy synapses scintillate,
amber, resin streams resuscitate
hosts of blushing buds in wait
on barren limbs at heaven’s gate
while sad Demeter roams.
Persephone, please don’t be late
escape your gloomy catacomb,
reclaim your radiant, verdant state…
come home.

(A Quadrille is a 44 word rhyming poem.)
Ribbons of golden sunlight splay
the shades of gray
as glooming clouds
descend like shrouds.
Her chilling kiss of icy mist
denies our bliss;
Chilled to the bone
we rush for home.
But though the day seems dark and cold
Winter grows old.
Her days are few.
Spring plans a coup!

though cold winds
wildly rustle through
our souls, we are
warmed by love and
murmurs of spring

she is a goddess,
a symphony if beauty,
sweet like peaches in milk
and honey, dressed in fluffy
pink…she is light and love,
all woman-girls who recall
their dreams of spring.

Remember to remember me in spring
when life is fresh and roses drip with dew
when birds return to nest and start to sing
when we were young, and our intentions true
sweet memories are fading from our view
no summer heat to fan wild passion’s flame
no autumn snaps of cold to shudder through
no endless winter nights as daylight wanes
I’ll be your bonnie lass and you my swain
in spring I know that we can love again.
