Four Seeds



Pomegranates and Persephone
Seeds of seasons
Ripen
Lush blood pips
Dribble
On black tar ground

Hades Temptation
Food of the dead
Squashed underfoot
Yet resurrected
And consumed

Demeter wails
Daughters Enslaved
Seasons unleashed
Oh Winter Bitterness
Of the Iron Queen

Photo & Poem by Briony
A reason behind the season of winter?

  1. This is beautiful Briony :) I was discussing exactly this at dinner on Saturday night, whilst eating pomegranate seeds, so close to winter.
