Hi Lou-Here By His Grace. Twenty years--a significant period of time to be doing something you love. And congrats on your 20th Writing.Com Anniversary.
I'm JACE, and I have the honor of reading and reviewing your offering "A White Quit" . As part of celebrating WDC's 25th Birthday, "Anniversary Reviews" is allowing reviewers to review any item from a member who joined during the first five years of WDC's existence. Thank you for your continued support of the site during those infancy years.
I invite your attention to the comments below. Please bear in mind these notes are from one on the outside looking in; ultimately only you can decide what's right for your story.
Overall Impression. My dad was career Air Force, so I moved a lot while growing up. When he retired, my dad went back to home in Maine. I've seen many snowfalls, enjoying every minute as it fell to the sparkle of the sun on that blanket the next morning.
I seldom review poetry as I don't feel I do the poem or the author true justice. But I couldn't pass up your offering. I now live in Missouri where I got out of the Army. Occasionally, just occasionally, we get some snow. More often we get ice storms--the sparkle might be there, but it's sorely lacking from a good snowfall.
Oh, the stories your words here remind me of while growing up in Maine. Fifty years later and they bring a smile to my face.
Your short, but poignant poem shows a deep respect for the memories one has of his life. Thanks for sharing those memories.
Technical and Editorial Considerations. In this section I normally list those areas that relate specifically to the mechanics of your writing--punctuation, grammar, spelling, etc.
I have one issue with your offering. Should your title be A White Quilt, instead of A White Quit?
My Rating. 5.0.
Thank you for sharing this offering. Please accept these comments as offered in friendship and support. They are but my humble opinion.
