Over the Isle’s misty hills, through her shadowed valleys,
Creviced face and sunny day tell the near hour.
Through her visage I heard a soft song whispered as I neared,
I now traveled long singing this song, in search of Ire’s feared.
Through cave and village I doth travel my journey not at an end,
Flipping stones and searching rivers for my dear lost friend.
I call to her yet she may not come, the breath of air wasted upon my tongue,
I call to her and still not come, forsaken by the Earth.
The golden beauty was your downfall, the pomegranate made it worse,
Persephone my love I call from above, return to me on summers eve,
We shall dance the dance of the thousand flowers, Demeter shall be pleased,
And bequeathed by Zeus, you must return, my journey to start anew.

Thanks Everyone!
The original piece was headed in another direction but then Greek mythology happened upon my brain and one of my favorite stories expressed it's self in this poem! - Report As Spam

It's lovely! I absolutely love the second to last stanza.
One thing I will say is that I feel that the colors are a bit distracting, and I think I would enjoy the poem more if it was all one color.
Overall a fine piece of work. - Report As Spam

- I enjoyed the poem Riven and I could see where you were going before I read the description. I love when it isn't necessary to read the description to understand the piece of writing. Good Job!!

- (My comment may not submit, as the capcha words are not showing up.) It was well done Riven, and before I reached the end and read your description, I knew what the poem was about.
