Enjoyed this very much as you have captured a vivid picture and your imagery takes the reader along with you in your memories, and yes, the nose is part of our memory, the aroma... That is why smelling pumpkin pie, apple pie ect will remind many of us of home, and of course cologne will always remind you of the person who wore it. Bonnie

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, view and concept. So far this has been the best I have read that is well worded, well expressed, the imagery and message within is structured and forms well, with a good flow and rhythmn from beginning to end. Hope you don't mind though, did find a couple of errors that could do with a bit of a tweak. The first three words, seem vague. Could it be 'In a sense...' In line 16, you have 'Sitting by the fire wood in hopes of getting warm' In this you would not need the word 'wood', unless it is the smell of wood you want to emphasise. In that case the whole line would need a revision as firewood (one word) does not get you warm, the fire does. Line 18, you have 'A pricky pine comb falling from a limb' suggest 'A prickly pine cone falling from a limb' Apart from that, well done and many blessings to you
