To Persephone
daffodils pay bright homage,
echoing the sun,
the golden rays breed passion,
love and hate rise up
white buds burst open,
spring no longer a maiden
swells with fruitfulness
till her petals wilt and fall
covering the blood-soaked ground.
This double tanka is for Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday, using synonyms for grow and honor. This is also for NaNoWriMo. This may or may not fit the prompt.
