Perhaps

Maybe Persephone liked bad boys; or just had bad taste in men.
Maybe the seasons were her choice & not some original sin.

Maybe she was raped & stolen; just as mythology has said.
Maybe she just didn’t exist & men greeted seasons in dread.

Maybe she did seal her fate with six pomegranate seeds eaten.
Maybe she was eager to breakfast with roguish Death unbeaten.

Maybe true she was tricked by the insidious guile of Hades.
Maybe she is just one more wronged among mythology’s ladies.

Maybe myths are best left for education & entertainment.
Maybe making stories real, unbinds them from page’s containment.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
