Ship of Dreams Into the dusk a mighty ship had sailed the biggest ever, unsinkable it was hailed A destiny etched in time and history the reason it sank never a mystery 1912 was the year of its fate decades marked by this memorable date Twenty two hundred came aboard carefree fifteen hundred to later die at sea Towards the west from Ireland it steamed to America of which many had dreamed Twenty one knots a speed considered fast but perils ahead wouldn't let it last In icy waters an iceburg roughly hit sinking assured, rescue flares were lit CQD distress call was loudly made but time and distance caused hope to fade Panic began for life boats too few desparation for safety made by the crew Slow and sure the big ship did sink a fatal destiny for many to link Into the waters and a death by freeze to die or live their fate did sieze A day in history of unspeakable panic recorded forever, sinking of Titanic < !signature--> [This message has been edited by Danny Holloway (edited 03-13-2000).] |

Wonderful poem, Danny. I just watched the movie Titanic two nights ago and was thinking what a terrible tragedy it was. Thankyou for putting this into words. One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. -William Shakespeare |
