Dear William, as I have read about your contest, instantly ' Event of Titanic' flashed in my mind. Now I have gone through your composition. So I will choose another topic.

Mayhaps, intrigue might breath you a muse from within your own country, Anisha, --just sharing a thought, Aloha! William

oh wow, you mentioned the song that the band was playing at that time. I too wrote of this event a long time ago and mentioned that song in my poem. This went down in history as one of the strangest and most horrible of more modern tragedies, something that simply should not have happened. I meant to see one of your poems mentioned at your contest this morning but was in a rush! Well done!

'Tis indeed a heartrenching truth that plainly boogles the mind, Andrea, as a lot of woulda, coulda, shoulda of guilt-laden why's, of missed opportunities that resulted in effective laws being passed after this tragic event, I am truly appreciative my friend (song is very moving), Aloha! William
