The sounds of the coal trucks,
On the old steam train,
Late at night,
I heard the clatter,
Over and over again,
I'd hear the pit siren,
Make it's eerie sound,
The men were working there,
Searching for coal underground.
As I lay in my nice cosy bed,
Life went on way ahead,
This was the way our village survived,
In our proud Welsh valley,
They worked hard to strive.

A great poem! Full of sensational sounds and smells! It makes me think of the little community that I grew up in! Thank you always for an excellent message!
More gremlins with PH, I can only read two lines of your poem, but you'll get 5* as they're always good. I always have trouble with PoemHunter.
Yes I'm having the same problem. Don't normally have trouble with it x
