_Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate - Salvador Dali
Death all around me
Ugh, that damn pomegranate
Mom tried to warn me....
*In ancient Greek mythology there was a story about Zeus's daughter Persephone. She was in a forrest one day when Hades came from the Underworld and snatched her up because he wanted to marry her (despite the fact that he's her damn uncle). So anyways she's in the Underworld and he gives her a pomegranate (which is like the fruit of death in Greek mythology). Oh i forgot to mention her mom (Zeus's sister Demeter) was sad && looking all over the place for her so when she caught wind of Persephone being with Hades she got at him like "gimme my daughter back" && he was like "i will if she hasnt eaten or drank anything from the Underworld. But...she ate 6 seeds from the pomegranate. So he agreed to let her live 6months above ground each year w| her family, && stay 6months in the Underworld w| him. Supposedly this is why we have different seasons. So yea thats just a brief explanation of wtf im talking about in my poem lol
