Harvest of a Season

Sweet the bounty imbuing the meadow With ripened fruits, herbage, and oats, And children raise their baskets under lush trees To pick pluck nectar of mid-autumn’s regale... While older folks round up for a grateful song Delighting in tokens from the horn of plenty, Where scent of crops brews on lit abodes Until breaths deepen warmly upon fertile yield, Relishing the heap from nature's soil. ~ Then reeling unto sunset's fest Dusk imparts joyful revelry As landscape blooms , a starlit crest While Harvest moon enlivens earth. ~ In this rich season … voices whisper, “ Oh praise be, dear blessed heaven!” For Kim Rodrigues' Cornucopia Contest 11/18/2017
