Remembering Persephone
The kingfisher darted
caught his prey
and flying up swallowed
the wriggling brown tilapia
the grass, a vast green carpet
undulated blown by the wind
from the blue ocean yonder
fragrance of frangipani wafted
caught his prey
and flying up swallowed
the wriggling brown tilapia
the grass, a vast green carpet
undulated blown by the wind
from the blue ocean yonder
fragrance of frangipani wafted

Ohhh the imagery... tbh, I had to Google frangipani and how pretty! (I'm a lover of all flowers) I bet they smell as beautiful as they look...
I really enjoyed reading, Grace.

Thank You, Blue, for always being so kind in your comments🌹Frangipani .. the scents very strong, and local legend has it that a beautiful ghost woman, a suicide who was wronged by her lover, put the flowers on her hair when she haunts nights presumably waiting for him.

Right up my alley, Grace.... Thank you for sharing that, it's an incredibly awesome local legend.
So wonderful to know....

The image of nature and the ocean filled with fish is cool. Keep on writing.

This is a brilliant and organic metaphor with perfect allusion to the myth.
