A West Virginia Sky

Beautifully penned.

Well, I won't claim to know anything about West Virginia or coal mining. But the poem itself is wonderfully written. Full of really intense images and wonderful use of metaphors. Even though I know nothing of either of the two things within the poem, I can still see myself there.

Flawless flow as per usual, this hums along at a melodic pace.

Really nice work Debs.

Debbie,
I thought for sure that I had already commented on this, but I knew I had read it. This is such an amazing write, I related so much to it. My Daddy and my papa jaybird were both coal miners. They lived in W. Va. and lived in Kermit, which is real close to Berwind. I loved this write and it flooded so many memories of the stories I had heard growing up as a teen.

This is beautiful....Despite being relatively short, you managed to put in so much depth, emotion and imagery. a very beautiful and elegant tribute.
