Deborah Digges' wonderful books of poems, Trapeze, contains a prose poem, "Trillium," about Persephone. It made the bridge from Monster to Spring I needed.

ReplyDeletei love the vibrant greens and delicate lines. beautiful. Persephone's story was one of my childhood faves.
ReplyDeleteWow - and what an amazing idea! Your Cerberus is a wondeful looking monster - obviously as besotted with Trillium as she is with him.
ReplyDeletebeautiful and very poetic!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great way to connect spring and monster, although without the Persephone connection, I would have thought it was a lady, a flower, and some happily sniffing dogs. I like the three vertical nads of color...it creates a simple but lovely composition.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, and what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone!
ReplyDeleteI had some mixed feelings about a composition where I didn't show Persephone's face/expression, but it seems to have turned out alright.
Appreciate your visits, and your feedback and kind words!
