reflecting shadows
puddles of water on fields
workers in sedge hats
~
fields filled with water
men descends to place seedlings
gilded performers
~
women in kasa
traditional performance
the paddies planted
~
bow down in prayer
planting the mother earth’s womb
promising fine crops
~
young girls singing songs
hoping for a good harvest
time for festival
~
aura of dances
enhanced crop’s vitality
melodies in air

Love the photo with the “reflected shadows” of your haiku just below it. So nice. Sounds like you read up a lot on the ceremonies.
