I love to garden and I love gnomes! So it's only fitting that I write a poem inspired by the holiday season and this particular year, the year of the pandemic.  Maybe it's the magic associated with these mythological creatures that make them delightful garden décor. Those of us who love nature and had a "whole lot of time" to garden this year 2020 can appreciate all the elements associated with plants. That includes gnomes!  I totally embrace the idea that they can protect my garden. If you were a gardener, wouldn't you?
