Glisten & Wait Comments

I like the title - it refers to these stones waiting for the holiday season to glisten, as you mention in the poem. But the glistening also seems to capture the speaker's mood in talking about these with obvious knowledge, equally obvious appreciation and an impatience that just seems to part of dealing with something so precious to her. The excitement she feel spills over and fills the poem with a lot of energy. Glisten, by the way, is a wonderful word choice.I prepared a response to this poem yesterday when my computer froze and locked me out for the day. I'm glad today everything worked fine, all the codes worked, all messages got delivered to you. Hurray!
