[hometext] => The industrious past, of a northern English city.
[bodytext] => The tall prominent chimney's bellow thick choking smoke upon a northern industrial town where huge steam hammers clank loudly and echo all around. A hive of activity a city born of steel from the hellish blast furnace to the sparking grinding wheel. The gigantic Bessemer furnaces spew orange molten fire on to the factory floor pig iron is thrown into the greedy crucible that roars when the steel is forged as the flames grow higher and higher. Men wearing goggles and blackened faces sweat profusely muscles tempered by years of toil and labor ready tuff and able back breaking work to put food on the family table. The filthy smog shrouds the city polluting the river Don and Rother and the air building brickwork blackened by soot coal dust trodden on underfoot. It was either down the coal mine or the factory floor for the working class man hardly anything more. The workers terraced houses dilapidated slums where poverty was rife and rat over run. From the little Master in his workshop the buffer girls polishing the knifes the overseer at their heel all for the worlds demand for Sheffield steel. Peter Dome. copyright. 2012.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
