Ceres, Goddess of Harvest: The Pact

Birthright rules they are Jupiter's sisters,
Hera, Vesta, Ceres, whose names glisters.

Ceres, the goddess of crop gathering,
whom the gods treat the best, no blathering.

When Ceres was sad, the harvest did die,
and the people did ask all the gods why?

Pretty Proserpine, Ceres daughter,
picking berries, her uncle did spotter.

The uncle was Pluto, and none other,
whose desires chokes empty minds to smother.

Pluto was the god of the underworld,
who had kidnapped her to his netherworld.

Proserpine met needs, kept in a dream,
ageless her stay be Pluto's fated scheme.

Jupiter sought out Mercury for aid,
a messenger god and smart son, think trade?

Proserpine marries, in turn, he must,
let her return for six months, would be just.

Pluto, Ceres, and Jupiter agreed,
six months growth, six months none, was then decreed.
