Such remarkable imagery Bob.. I could feel a lump forming in my throat as I read this.. These men that work so hard deserve all the praise and recognition we can give... Truly An Amazing Read. Wendy :)

A few minor spelling/punctuation mistakes are nowhere near enough to hold back this excellent poem.

Bob my friend, What an outstanding piece...You captured this image to perfection....remarkable poet 10+++

A nice piece of work, you seem to like rhyming couplets. Many of my family were pitmen, working in 18' seams, so this brought back some of the stories they told me. Love, Irene

This hits home... My best friend's brother was killed in a mining accident in W.V. It's a painful reality the world must sometimes face, and those men aren't given enough credit for their service! This is a well-written, nicely flowing poem. I enjoyed it a lot. :)

Stunning work, here, Bob...Resplendent depiction, and imagework. Tight, crisp, and mellifluous structuring....intriguing theme....Solid Crafting! ~ FjR ~ ..2008..

...such accidents occur many times tolling the lives of so many... well composed..a very sensitive and touching tribute to the coal miners
