Started To Slowly Sail

Started to Slowly Sail She slowly started to sail out to sea To America, far better place to ever be Cruise would have to cross the Atlantic Tremendous, great ship was the Titanic. Several ports Titanic did travel through Like many large ships usually may do Gathering up passengers here and there Leaving loved ones behind was hard to bare. Turned out that it had been late at night Passengers were to become full of fright Maiden voyage of Titanic ran out of luck So sadly a big iceberg soon was struck. Some drowned at sea never seen again While others into a lifeboat did jump in And past this incident finally would fade Until recently about it a movie was made. Movie centered around necklace with a jewel That proved to provide a thoughtful tool To base part of moving, marvelous movie on And to see it millions of people have gone. Along with jewel was an arduous love affair Between two who were an important player In the very end she they were sure to save And loved one now exists in a watery grave. Never again ever can another compare With this movie and my poem want to share About Titanic that one day on sea did abound And silently slipped into sea without a sound. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran and Poet We must realize that much of the movie is fiction.
