Inspiration for today’s haiku came from my weekly email from Poets & Writers:
We search the dry land
for Persephone’s
majestic red shoes
–Margaret Simon
wow!
When you said “we connect across the miles with our words,” you were so right. I was fairly obsessed with the Demeter & Persephone myth at one time. I even tried my own retelling, so I am swooning over her “majestic red shoes.”
The constraint of only one more syllable led me to shoes. I kind of love it. Thanks!
Breathtaking choice of words! I love them.
