Lighthouse of Alexandria

They saw its light far out to sea; An earthquake brought it down. I wonder what the sailors did - I hope they didn’t drown. Lighthouse of Alexandria for PD’s Seven Wonders of the Ancient World contest

Congratulations, very enjoyable piece. I really love short poems sometimes, especially when they leave with a 'hm!' like this one did.
