COALTOWN HOSE

A poem that contains grit and blue collar, grime, tough knocks and other side of town values and expectations. Nicely rhymed it carries its own flavor.

A reminder that we have been through times before, just in those days it was the Norm and nearly everyone was in the same boat, people got on with it and the children still managed to have fun, enjoyed the read

Tough times not noticed by the children that found it normal and even fun not knowing anything else. A nostalgic poem

Joan, this is so vivid and full of heart. The rhythm of the city moves through every stanza...but the kindness from the Pretzel Man centers the whole piece. Knowing it came from your own story makes it hit even deeper. A moment remembered...and honored. 🌹👏 Welcome to MPS. I am looking forward to more.

Kindness is appreciated more when a person is in need. Life can be hard and a little charity and humanity goes a long way. Nice
