The Snowflake That Sank The Titanic It all begins with a single snowflake (Each one in itself is unique) Brought about through evaporation, And returned by the force of gravity In the form of snow to the planet, To rest on the Greenland ice sheet, Some fifteen thousand years ago. Snowflakes multiplied trillions of times over, Piled on top of each other and compacted, Until the sheer weight of the conglomerate Resulted in a glacier formation. Creeping west to the Arctic coast, Where a piece broke off (Calved, as it’s called), To begin a two-year voyage (A thousand miles overall), Floating south to the Atlantic Ocean. Destiny and coincidence make appearances, Throughout history, without explanation, As to time and place and events that happen. The ‘RMS Titanic’ departed, Southampton for New York Harbor; The tenth of April 1912, in the year of Our Lord, With two ports of call in-between, France and Ireland before the crossing: As the iceberg entered the shipping lanes, Of the North Atlantic. Both bound on a collision course Of tragic consequence. ‘Titanic’s’ lookout reported; “ICEBERG RIGHT AHEAD!” 1 And so they collided on that fateful night, The block of ice and the ocean liner, As recorded in the annals of history; April 14, 1912, at 11:40 p.m. ship’s time. The Western Union telegram received reads: “We have struck iceberg. Sinking fast. Come to our assistance. Position: Lat 41.46 N. Lon 50.14 W.” 2 The ‘Titanic’ sank in two and a half hours, On April 15, 1912, at 2:20 a.m.; Four hundred miles south of Newfoundland.

Further particulars later.” 3 The infamous iceberg tips and rolls, Melting away and then is no more. Hence, from the ocean borne, And to the ocean returned. From the Belfast shipyards to New York City (Built of steel and rivets and coveted luxury) The ‘White Star Line Vice President’ stated, (When he learned that the ‘Titanic’ was in trouble) “We place absolute confidence in the Titanic. We believe the boat is unsinkable.” 4 A shallow boast costing fifteen hundred and seventeen lives, The ‘unsinkable sinks:’ Seven hundred and six survive.

The Snowflake That Sank the Titanic

The Snowflake That Sank The Titanic It all begins with a single snowflake (Each one in itself is unique) Brought about through evaporation, And returned by the force of gravity In the form of snow to the planet, To rest on the Greenland ice sheet, Some fifteen thousand years ago. Snowflakes multiplied trillions of times over, Piled on top of each other and compacted, Until the sheer weight of the conglomerate Resulted in a glacier formation. Creeping west to the Arctic coast, Where a piece broke off (Calved, as it’s called), To begin a two-year voyage (A thousand miles overall), Floating south to the Atlantic Ocean. Destiny and coincidence make appearances, Throughout history, without explanation, As to time and place and events that happen. The ‘RMS Titanic’ departed, Southampton for New York Harbor; The tenth of April 1912, in the year of Our Lord, With two ports of call in-between, France and Ireland before the crossing: As the iceberg entered the shipping lanes, Of the North Atlantic. Both bound on a collision course Of tragic consequence. ‘Titanic’s’ lookout reported; “ICEBERG RIGHT AHEAD!” 1 And so they collided on that fateful night, The block of ice and the ocean liner, As recorded in the annals of history; April 14, 1912, at 11:40 p.m. ship’s time. The Western Union telegram received reads: “We have struck iceberg. Sinking fast. Come to our assistance. Position: Lat 41.46 N.
