Poem Body
The weight of the earth
on top of coal
is what pressures coal
into a diamond
And this weight of pain
wrapped around my heart
is what crushes my soul
In sermon
You see -I was weak
a weak and scared man
Never did I hold faith
with courageous hand
I just died,
died the panicked man
So now tears fall wet
in diamond heavy pain

Dear Tyro
This has an exceptional opening stanza.
I'm not however happy with "in sermon" Maybe "in silent sermon"?
I also thought you don't need all the spaces here
You see -I was weak
a weak and scared man
Never did I hold faith
with courageous hand
I just died,
died the panicked man
Just few thoughts, please feel free to ignore them all
I have already enjoyed this bittersweet piece.
Thank you for sharing.
Hi dear Rula
You have made some quality suggestions, and I have changed the spacing, you are right about that.
I seriously considered silent sermon, but I wrote the poem in cadense, and silent sermon lenthens the line,
gives it more push, when I want the sentence to run softly down,
