Appreciated more by those of us who used wood and coal that we gathered to make our fires. Great tribute. Many of those men gave their lives.

Thanks FAY and a wonderful tribute to COAL. It is a complex material ~ consisting mainly of carbon which is why it is such a good and practical solid fuel ! It is also a source of chemicals Coal gas ~ Coke ~ Benzene ~ Naphthalene (moth balls !) and Phenol etc. These are important chemicals for the synthesis of drugs ~ plastics etc. It is a shame to just burn it !

A great write, full of history, and description of what was a very dangerous occupation. Without the miners the world would be a much different place, maybe still with maps half empty. Progress would certainly have been much slower. Loved this one. - Phil A.

Augustus said:
Like drugs the monetary reward for the industry is incredibly rich. These young women are slaves. Like the drug cartel mafia chiefs the heads are hard to find as all the little,guys take the risk. I believe they come into the states by the plane loads. We do need more awareness.

Two things are very sad FAY ~ ONE that these babes are driven to this by Poverty and Pimps ~ TWO that Men (often with daughters of their own) abuse them (very much) and pay them (very little). Thanks for caring ~ Yours B

Love\'s Due.
MendedFences27 said:
Love, music, and song, together they bring hope or misery, depending on your state of mind at the time.Love as Conductor can be off-tempo sometimes. Two people meet and do not fall in love, but if they were to meet for the first time at some other instant, would they be lovers.? Perhaps, such is fate, such is Love\'s timing. People change over time,. Another place, another time, Love in Bloom? So, Fay, take up the baton and whip up a symphony Loved your poem. - Phil A.

MendedFences27 said:
The depth of one\'s soul cannot be measured in real terms only in mystical ones. How caring are we, how much love do we share, can we reach out to the less fortunate, etc? Your poem gives us insight to the soul. How it is devoid of self interest and consumed with caring. Loved it. - Phil A.

Love is more than instant infatuation - it has to be worked at to keep it fresh - luckily mine after 53 years of marriage is as strong as ever - and I love the poem too.

Sharing.
Pintu Mahakul said:
Nature is taken in a course. Exchanging nods in wind\'s vibration mesmerizes mind entirely. Meeting familiar faces we feel emotion. Mutual pleasure is interestingly expressed here well. An excellent poem is shared of course.

Being Fickle.
Pintu Mahakul said:
All growth becomes riddled with desire for warmth. Spring drips here more. We all need more warmness of nature. Spring hangs around to tickle. Fears disappears by touch of spring. Winter is allowed to return back. A poem with great imagery is well crafted here. Spring has really arrived and winter has gone away. An excellent work! Crafty spring knows everything.

Three Faces.
Pintu Mahakul said:
Perception does magic here. Verse is a face and self is a face. These two faces unite with place and three faces come in to existence. This is very humorous and metaphoric expression. Catching first breath of muse inside mesmerizes mind. Whispers we hear in this poem that tells many things. Amazing poem is shared here.

Crescented Magic.
Pintu Mahakul said:
Post-shower Rainbow has fallen here to do magic with wonderful imagery. We say hello to shiny loop. Brilliantly crescented magic of arc-perfection is potted in gold. This rainbow covers the real blessing. Valued prism reflects wonderful colours that value more. Rainbow appears and disappears but wonderful sense this gives. An interesting poem is shared with excellent presentation.

New Depths.
Pintu Mahakul said:
Edges are unseen but still there is hope of union and this union we feel exactly. Two seas meet and find a place for them. Heaven is speaking and we need to view efficiency of this scene. Love is incomparable and we can never describe in words. To describe depth of a person we need to look in to human mirror. Wonder\'s ecstasy truly fills inner core of soul. An excellent poem is shared here.
