Dandelion Chain Poem by maddie bird

Persephone, darling, come to me
Dance on the Earth in jollity
And let spring reign supreme once more.
I know you’re bound to Hades’ shore,
But surely you could serve the time on land
With dandelion chains binding your hands?
(If Hades says no, show him a bondage magazine-
The gods are rough, he’ll like that sort of thing.)
Regardless of what it takes to come,
Please do so, and bring back the sun
To toast musty car seats and warm the day.
Right now everything is grey,
And wet, and so damn depressing
That daytime and nightmares begin coalescing
Into a sludge the likes of which the gods never dreamed-
Please, gods, save us, damnèd Queen.
