The image in the first few stanzas are so striking!! * __ * You really succeeded in capturing how scent is tied so closely to memory!!
the straightforwardness of this is very clean, very powerful. it feels like a monologue, almost, a warning with weight from the line breaks. i like how it closes and ends with 'you never forget the smell'--giving it the definite article and repetition instead of a description
I feel the quiet of those early hours in this poem. Thank you for sharing it.
I have found out that for newer free sites - you can no longer use js to pull in text or code from other sites!! This has been a recent change since the start of the year. My older sites weren't affected. FYI, this will likely mean that some webring widgits and other js code may not run on your site if it's newer!
