General Disclaimer: This review reflects my opinion and is given with the intention of being constructive and encouraging. I hope you find this review helpful. Title: A good title that is suitable to the subject of your poem. Form/Style: A very good write of your joyful memories of children making snow angels. Heartfelt and introspective. A skillfully crafted Sestina. Perfect form. Imagery: Imagery is good as are the descriptives. Through the lens of your memories you paint a vivid picture of children at play making snow angels after a pristine snow fall, which after some time brings you back to the present as a car arrives filled with your grandchildren who pile out into the snow, once again bringing you joy and love shared by you and the one playing and watching over his children. Flow/Rhythm: Flow is good; line to line transition and breaks are well done. Very nice rhythm. Tone: Lovely depth of feeling. Heartwarming. You express the love you feel for the children from your memories and the grandchildren who now play in a snow blanketed yard that brings joy to you on this beautiful winter morning. Word Choice: Word choice is good as is the use of repetition for emphasis of feeling which is also driven by this form of poetry. Good alliteration, assonance and consonance. Overall: Well penned and a most enjoyable read. Write on. ** Image ID #1662381 Unavailable **
