Praises,

ode sung to Joy

for the abundant grace

and blessings this harvest season

gathered.

May we

be ever blessed

with abundant harvest

giving thanks to our creators

Amen!

Didactic Cinquain

Farmer

Hunter, gatherer

planting, toiling, caring

hoping for plentiful yield

Cultivator.

~~~~~~

Moonrise

Silver bloom

Rising, ripening, glowing

Lighting fields, quiet grace

Witness

~~~~~~

Scarecrow

Stillness. Watching

Guarding, grinning, waiting

Crows scatter from shadow

Effigy

~~~~~~~

Threshing

Steady pace

Swinging, sifting, singing

Grain released golden husk

Labor

~~~~~~~

Harvest

Golden yield

Ripening, gathering, praising

Filling baskets, feeding hearts

Gratitude

~~~~~~~

Offering

Silent tears

Gathering, laying, blessing

Fruits upon ancient altar

Worshipful.

The first two are Adelaide Crapsey's form of Cinquain.
