...describe the elements of nature? And what do they have in common? Here is the poem!!
(someone please help)

this land is not
just a place to set my house my car my fence

this land is not
just a plot to bury my dead my seed

this land is
my tongue my eyes my mouth

this headstrong grass and relenting willow
these flat-footed fields and applauding leaves
these frank winds and electric sky lines

are my prayer
they are my medicine
and they become my song

this land is not
just a platform for my dance
 
"This headstrong grass" I believe means not easily restrained or control.
"relenting willow" means easily bend. "flat-footed fields" could mean fields that are unproductive. "applauding leaves" could mean approving leaves. "frank winds and electric sky lines" could mean fair winds and electric lines on posts.

They could all mean a way of describing nature or a place where one lives.
