Oh, Andrea, the muse must have giggled when you penned this one. Nicely done. A bit of personification in a Monoku.

Very cryptic...and very Anglo-Saxon - love it! Wishing you all the very best for a poetically rewarding and happy New Year, Andrea. All my very best wishes! :) john

I did not mean it to be cryptic but I see you are not the only one to think it was! I was comparing earth to the other elements!
