If you think it is a good example, absolutely!!! I'm glad you liked it!

Yep. It rings all the bells for me. :-)

Me too! This is GREAT! The very simplicity of it is masterful. Too many writers suffer the delusion that fancy-schmancy prose or metaphor-laden, murky, mysterious prose is the hallmark of talent. Opposite is true: remind me to tell the story of Ted Kooser....
