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
Reflections on the Teche 
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.
