Persephone, Falling

(1) Sea Level

Yeah, sure, you need to go look up the myth to really understand it, but the vocabulary is simple and the sentences aren't complex. It takes a little bit of a turn after the first stanza, but probably won't lose most readers. This is a good example of a poem that isn't difficult to approach, but keeps rewarding a careful reader.
