Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Relic Recovered

For millions of years this coal piece

Lay buried 'neath the ground of Wales.

When mined this coal gained its release

Becoming part of tons of sales

To a shipping line loaded on

A ship in Southampton bound for

New York, this piece of coal upon

Maiden voyage that was in store

For a disaster to occur.

For decades this piece of coal lay

While it and other pieces were

Awaiting to be found one day.

What was the piece of coal's outcome?

Sank Titanic recovered from.
