Lady of the Lake
Seeker said:
A well crafted poem this. The entire poem is a metaphor. Great write. I have often thought of this \"Lady\", holding the sword above the water, as a symbol of unattainable valor. Your lady I understand, represents a different aspect of human character. Beautiful. I did see one typo.......surreal......but that counts as nothing.

Futility

Very strong and very true write. That melting pot needs a dose of love, caring and humility added to it before it is used again.

Thanks MARIA ~ A beautiful tribute to the CORNISH TIN MINERS. I am a Scientist and I love to visit both working ~ worn out and abandoned mines. GOD has provided Planet Earth with awesome mineral resources yielding every element in the Peiodic Table from HYDROGEN (in water ) to URANIUM. Each of these elements (including TIN) plays a vital part in our everyday lives and we should treat each one with respect ! It is always a pity when the key factor (as you state in your poem) becomes ECONOMICS & PROFITABILITY and not the intrinsic value of the minerals themselves and the valuable elements (such as TIN) that can be obtained from them. In 2016 the World production of TIN was 300,000 tons 42% from China ~ 28% from Indonesia ~ 6% from Peru ~ perhaps in the future Cornwall\'s TIN will be profitable to min again ? Thanks for sharing ~ please check my POEMS ~ BRIAN (UK)

You captured so well the poignant atmosphere when mines close Maria - living as you do close to the hub I too feel for a lost way of life. I look forward to reading more of your talented work with word.
