As usual, a fantastic poem from anna. That first stanza is just wonderful.
I really liked this. One tiny quibble that perhaps a little very light pruning and one period might help - then maybe not.
Oh yes the struggle of the ups and downs of the perpetual diet! Sigh ... I know it well!
Excellent solution to the trigger as well--one that makes sense as a poem, not just as a dashed-off thing to satisfy a requirement.
