Titanic Enemy
TITANIC ENEMY
None bigger on the sea they say,
Or more beautiful night and day.
Shape immense and gracefully topping
The waves with purpose unstopping.
In a hurry, appointment with fate.
Big as a castle, and with a great
Sheer-sided, steel-tough wall;
But unable to see ahead at all.
Starry calm sea and waveless:
She faced ahead really eyeless.
The graceful cold white shape immense
Raced south in murderous innocence.
Hardly felt the shudder slight
When it occurred late that night.

NOTE
This description of the iceberg is kinda spooky because of
the resemblance between the ship and its icy enemy.
