Short Unsinkable Poems

We christen thee Titanic
unsinkable, gigantic.
but lack of options cost her.
First one: a good defroster....

The moonless night.
Earth moved near the
sun. Record tides.

I waited for –
you, before ice
berg will hit us.  

Unsinkable. I
believed was our 
life. You did’t.

Monsters




Legendary Sphinx,
Monster in every marvel,
An incessant love,
Unsinkable Titanic,
The ceaseless thunder of surf !

She could sing, dance, and act 
but picking a man was a problem.
She didn't complain or explain
just worked hard for the money,
an Unsinkable Molly Brown.  
America's sweetheart now
soars among the stars.

The best I got from you… firm friendship
The world’s most trusted unsinkable ship.
     In this wonderful world
     With a colorful cord;
What I’ll give you is… cool companionship.



Dedicated to all my friends especially Tee~Y...

'Twas claimed Titanic was unsinkable.
 
   To think otherwise was unthinkable!

      Alas, she met her fate,

         Because she swerved too late!

            Tangling with ice cubes proved it sinkable!

In the twinkle of the night, she skips along the trails through the forest. The 

moonlight shines upon her face. She smiles jauntily and her eyes sparkles

like a twinkling star. Reeling with unfettered joy, she leaps upon her toes and 

she dance mirthful through the forest in the moonlight like an angel that come

down from heaven....

However far we go our bond 
won’t break for it is strong
no place or time too go beyond 
will make our bond be gone

If friends need me I’m in for it
they show it back we’re infinite
forever will our flame be lit
for nothing can extinguish it

Let bygones be bygones 
goodbyes don’t mean gone
tied strong is our bond
forever and beyond...

Titanic unsinkable - guaranteed

     Another example of mankind's greed

          Man dared nature - man lost

               At a most dreadful cost

                    "Tempt not thy Creator" man should heed

In the North Atlantic, 
an iceberg leaned 
toward the Titanic, 
popping pins and crunching steel, 
sinking the unsinkable. 

A cold hush followed 
the ship's first shudder, 
as life's moments shifted 
to death's minutes, 
touching the untouchable. 

Sometimes danger lurks 
just below the surface. 
Best to slow down, 
and keep your eyes open before 
fathoms become unfathomable....

She grew resplendent on the docks,
Growing upwards from below,
A magnificent sight to behold,
A luxurious hotel to sail the sea,
Rich, famous and poor all looked on in awe,
"Unsinkable" they said,
But mistakes where made,
Hitting an iceberg below, she slowly sank,
Some saved but most died,
The fascination with the Titanic to be evermore,
Sitting on the bottom of the sea bed rusting away,
A monument for those that stayed on board....

that has been, was so raven
that you were hugging vanity
for the deportation of death
as a living;

fake predicates of a genius
like words falling as bucketfuls
of lies,

back to back coffer dams
collapsing, submerging

seers’ sarcophagi,

and the annual rings were becoming
deeper, mossed in misery,
his book of moon blackened,

goodbye, the dark unsinkable,
I am going to be reborn
in the abyss of my own sorrow

O, Basilisk keeping across the unsinkable surface of water,
desperately fleeing the terrible hunger of monstrously ravenous mouths,
supported by ripples of light,
as adrenaline, faith and delight appear to allow the impossible task of traversing the river of night, as the bluegills below the remarkable sight of a lizard escaping a death of forsaken repose effervesce with a watery awe,

is an ingenuous talent as yours unremittingly earned?
