Day Tragedy Did Strike

I am beginning this poem with a haiku. Were on a great ship, And Titanic was its name With it fell in love. That must have been what the Titanic Passengers were first feeling on the Titanic. Dat Tragedy Did Strike Aboard the Titanic all of them clamored On super ship and with were enamored Captain spoke in voice that was eloquent Then off to sea each passenger went. Grandeur on ship was found everywhere All articles and things handled with care For upper deck people who were well to do With special section designed for the crew. But all were at mercy of God and His sea And what should be an enjoyable jubilee Into a disaster one day it did become Relatives of dead were unhappy and glum. For blow dealt by iceberg monuments were made On temporary grave sites flowers had been laid And off to heaven is where all the dead went As each flower also died and became spent. Can you imagine what all of that must have been like? Watch the series on TV sponsored by National Geographic regarding Titanic.
