Tragedy

The passengers set sail in the sun
Roaming the decks and dining inside
And there was joy in every single heart 
Gliding out into the ocean and cold waters
Everything was new and never used before 
Doom embraced the ship when it hit an iceberg
Years ago, a catastrophe still heartbreaking to fathom

I still think about the movie and the horror that the passengers and crew must have gone through in those last moments of the ship going down. We probably had all heard about it but the movie brought it to life. I enjoyed reading your contest entry. Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Thank you for stopping by my page with a comment. Sara

Sara, thanks for the visit to my poem, and for the compliment, appreciate. I will never forget that scene in the movie of the frozen bodies floating in the ocean and one a lady still holding her baby, we all have heard of the story of Titanic but most never let the horror in ~ love and serenity _Constance

Tragedy remembered and recognized for the pain and suffering it caused...as we honor in a couple of days the tragedy of 9-11, 2001. Do we learn from the past? Well-done, Constance, best of luck in the finals.
