Best Southampton Poems

They hailed her as the empress of the waves
Supreme upon the ocean’s vast domain,
Yet those who watched her launch, and bid ‘Godspeed’,
Could never have foreseen her fleeting reign.

She left Southampton heading for New York;
The sky above was somewhat overcast.
Such hopes and dreams were riding on...

She leaves Southampton
This Titanic ship
Her maiden voyage
New York trip
 
Channel crossings to Cherbourg, France
To Queenstown in Ireland
Where passengers dance
To some, a new life awaits

Temperature drop
Impending disaster
Without a thought
 
Lookouts, Fleet and Lee
Spot a large iceberg close to she
Sitting...

And they always...

Although  a pleasant man he was...

   On her flagstaff wind ‘n lee
 flew the Southern Cross ensign,
   down a slipway to the sea
 launched afar by Her Majesty

The Snowflake That Sank The Titanic

It all begins with a single snowflake
(Each one in itself is unique)
Brought about through evaporation,
And returned by the force of gravity
In the form of snow to the planet,
To rest on the Greenland ice sheet,
Some fifteen thousand years ago.
Snowflakes multiplied trillions...

century later in a watery grave
souls of the elite as well as peons
float about the wreckage

boarding in Southampton
Dad carried jewels to sell in the States
I, just a teen, came along to see the sights

Dad’s money purchased rooms on the top tier

Built by Harland and Wolff in the shipyards of Belfast
A luxurious gigantic cruise ship that they built to last
She was an Olympic class liner of the White Star Line
No expense was spared in construction she was grand and so fine.

We met during the war on this now famous sunny isle
Like a moth to a flame, was her infectious smile
I was in the Navy, stationed aboard an MTB
Keeping shipping lanes open, for the Mediterranean Fleet

Whilst the war years progressed you could sense the islands bravery
Heavily...

Beloved Great Britain

In background even if shade has become dim
The one who I pray to will always be Him
And asked God for a errorless, perfect plan;
He said start your computer and then scan.

Go over all of the things you should be doing
Name from list poets...

The beautiful ship of Captain Smith
sank into the frigid water of the Atlantic Ocean
on a moonless night as Fedrick Fleet taken by emotion
spotted that massive iceberg approaching the main deck.


Fleet's first reaction was to notify his captain who had decided to doze,
he ran to his...
