Mystery of the Triangle

Such a legend in these dark waters born
Of ships and people vanished without a trace
Broken vessels bobbing along so forlorn
Everything sucked beneath the ocean surface

This mystery of the Atlantic is often pondered
Scholars and skeptics have discussed at length
What's become of these boats that have wandered
Into the wild blue sea losing their strength

Some have questioned how the waters may part
Taking human lives somewhere to the brink
Rumors even abound of Amelia Earhart
Along with her plane disappearing into the drink

Legend or factual truth we may never know
This Bermuda Triangle tale may always revolve
Around speculation that fascinates us so
It's seemingly a mystery we'll never solve

I loved this poem, Deb, but Amelia Earhart crashed in the Pacific Ocean, not the Atlantic. This historical inaccuracy is the only reason your poem did not place in the Legends Contest. Love, Carolyn

You have a great write on the Bermuda Triangle here Deb. The disappearances of boats and planes there have always fascinated me. Amelia Earhart's plane went down in the Pacific near Howland Island though. I recently saw the biographical movie on her life and death. Good luck in the contest. Best to you, Diane
