New day, new haiku! Not feeling 100% today... Such a sad day overall in truth πŸ˜” RIP to Chadwick Boseman, T'Challa of Wakanda. My heart is so broken, my condolences to his family πŸ’”πŸ™ The coming week Im gonna see a doctor too. I hope that goes well. Now, for the usual daily haiku! This one is for Demeter, mother of Persephone, daughter of Kronos and Rhea and Goddess of Agriculture, but also health and marriage as well. Of course, she is known for being apart of her daughter's myth. She fretted so much when Persephone was taken to the underworld. She was also known to be a grain mother for humans. The horn of plenty aka the cornucopia is one of her symbols as well as the torch hence they are referred in the haiku. The motherly figure who always gives and provides. Its very fitting, isnt it? A light in the darkness. A hope in the fear and dread. Anyway, thank you all for growing followers, I'm forever humbled and grateful for the support πŸ™πŸŒΉπŸ’œ Here's the link for the growing collection: https://hellopoetry.com/collection/132853/the-women-of-myth/ Be back tomorrow with another one! Please take care of yoursels and stay safe! RIP to Chadwick again πŸ˜­πŸ’” Much love, Lyn πŸ’œ
