Notes About The Poem

Sponsor: Tom Woody 

Contest:   Titanic Farewell 

Lonely Lament

Darkness falls on the doomed ship’s dazzling frame,
Pride and joy of Maiden Voyage destroyed, 
The wreck descends into a frigid void 
Sinking souls to their deaths of frothy fame.
 
Like you that’s what I read ‘bout frantic sight,
I learned I was the young whom fate would spare,
No memories of my parents’ despair -
Fortunate star shone on me that chill night.

But if Titanic dragged me down as well 
What would my last words to my loved ones be?! 
« Let the buried past rest in peace at sea 
as dead forever mourned - you live to tell».
