Anorak Review
It does feel soft and
it is not noisy.
It is light weight.
I am comfortable with it.
Lots of pocket space.
It is hard to get over my
head when removing it.
It feels a little snug
at my hips
where the draw string is.
It is not flattering
to my shape.
My family said
it has a maternity look to it.
But I ignored them and kept it.
I am 48.
In fact I am using it today

And hardly seen, divided among the twigs of a tree,
The trees of a forest, just as life is divided up
Between you and me, and among...
