Best Cornucopia Poems

The horn of plenty
on my grandparents’ table
as we sat feasting . . .
the thought of being apart
never entering our minds

though the years have fled
from my cornucopia . . .
new fruits spilling out

My cup is overflowing and
I brim with happiness because
of every blessing that I have

Intricate patterns, exotic flowers
  curl into royal insignias
    cultured eyes can devour
A cornucopia of colours  

Like a peacock's feathers on display
  expanding and contracting
    those myriad Eyes ~
Visual accordions at play

All this and more

A measure of human want,
Of mans unceasing desires,
Abundance of food in excess
Of what stomach can bear,
Of wealth and gilded jewels,
Of mansions and orchards,
Cornucopia from age of Zeus,
Unabating symbol of greed,
Stop to fill that mythical horn,
With generosity of your heart,
Throw goodness in good measure,
And for once...

Alas, I look at my options and I panic
Bewildered by my choices that feel so gigantic
Clarity seems a bit elusive right now
Dastardly and evasive to me somehow
Establishing an anchor is what I should do
For that would improve my point of view
Grasping for answers that dangle...

My Horn of Plenty

Cornucopia brimming in radiance 
with fruit and a scent of cinnamon and myrrh, 
adorn the middle of Thanksgiving dinner
creating a harmonious ambiance.

family gather 
time to reflect be thankful
LORD for His goodness

God is our horn of plenty, He gives us more than enough.

Thanksgiving

Windchimes make music that lingers in the mind,
Blessed by abundance of sharing what we find,
A feast spread out before us is quite divine.
With plates in hand, we're eager to wait in line.
Delicious aromas fill the chilly air.

Cornucopia

Trumpet Sounding – abundance Resounding –
A harvest not Empty – a horn of Plenty –
Season bounty Astounding – safe from snowbound Surroundings
Fall Caressing fair autumn Blessings.

Sweet orbs of Green or burgundy Seen
In arbors that Wait grape clusters to Take
Nectars Serene in fermenting Dreams
Dew mists so...

As the window closes on Summer's breeze,
A door opens for Fall's colored leaves...
Crispy sweet apples and plump pumpkin squash,
Solitary scarecrow continues to watch.

Shorter days with longer nights,
Misty fog causes blurry sight.
Green turns into late season brown,
Barren limbs as leaves carpet ground.

Early morning frosted landscape,
Slight slips...

In the Mahabharata, the protagonist Dharmaputra 
and his wife Kunti, driven out of their own land, 
penniless and living in a forest, could host their numerous guests
(who had thrown their lot with them). 
All that the royal couple did was to pray.
And the phenomenon is...

Pumpkin patches and candied apples at the corn maze in the city,
a little boy dressed as a vampire and my daughter a princess so pretty-
Haunted houses and ghosts and goblins out for a night of fright, 
HALLOWEEN has come again on this harvest moon filled...

Mama says this is where 
  I was born on a stormy night
    the benignant horn was where
      she'd paused to breathe and reside

         The bounteous hollow took...
