Six Seeds of Pomegranate. A Poem
I would like to share this poem with you. Inspired by the Persephone myth, I wrote it some months ago, and I'm not explaining its meaning because I feel it can be interpreted in many ways and I want to allow each person to read it their own way. Don't worry, I know it's not very good and it will be long before I inflict my poetry on you again :)))
Six Seeds of Pomegranate
She ate in Hell.
Now she can’t come back completely.
She opened the lovely fruit,
She took six seeds, that looked like pieces
Of her own heart.
Six tiny seeds, and how that hurts.
She ate in Hell.
Now Mama can’t get her back forever.
Some of the time, she’ll see the sun,
But after that, the dark will claim her
And she’ll return.
Six tiny seeds, so red they burn.
So here I am or seem to be.
But six seeds stole the best of me.
