Titanic Poems

A Drama In Two Parts

They left Southampton with a coal fire down below,
Olympic class of the White Star Line, little did they know.
Irish-built in Belfast, one iceberg was all it took as,
with insufficient lifeboats, the whole wide world it shook.
Departing Queenstown, compartments not all watertight,
unsinkable or so they said, until that tragic night...
(almost a six-day cruise).
She was poorly equipped

If My Ancestor Boarded The Titanic

If he had boarded the frail proud lady,
My ancestor would have been a hysteric.
It would have been nothing new to him, though —
Boarding such a mighty vessel
With an unsinkable testimonial.
He had been on board Noah’s ark
For more than 40 days and 40 nights —
The first-ever lockdown in the first-ever
Flood pandemic.
He would have consulted an oracle

THE TITANIC 2 - OF OUR HEARTS

I felt our hearts drowning in the sea of Love,
I tried to cover them with my palm's cozy glove,
Yet they drowned and I could feel it,
I am indeed privileged to see it.



We tried to manage in our mind's raft,
However, both our hearts finally drowned in that sea- Forever and Ever!

Love on board
The seas can’t separate our commitment for each other
Through the challengers that so be
It’s our love being you and me
Guided through the storms of final chapter
Love will always live ever after
Devoted shall remain

Their love

The ship of dreams
Opulent surroundings
Fancy bed linens
Luxurious dinner plates and tablecloths
Gleaming virginal utensils
Dazzling crystal chandeliers
Polished walnut woodwork
Gold gilded fireplaces

Wardrobes ready for furs and dresses
An experienced captain
Eager staff
Bustling activity
Musicians, artists, businessmen aboard
High ranking officials, wealthy industrialists, celebrities
Cruising flawlessly in clear blue sea
A haven and heaven during the day
Easy sleeping and dreaming in the evening

The Titanic
A ship unsinkable
The aftermath unthinkable
A ship with all the avion’ and majesty
The voyage from Southampton in British waters
There was a couple, IDA AND ISIDOR STRAUS of particular interest
They were connected to MACY’S DEPARTMENT STORE as CO-OWNERS
Their love was always united in sophistication and splendor
Devastation would take a certain turn
The Titanic just hit an iceberg

I saw the ugly dweeb in the school yard
Thought I'd teach him that life was hard
He was weak, I felt like pushing him around
Jane and Mike were with me, I picked him off the ground

Mike laughed as the nerd's legs kicked in the air
Jane threw the geek's glasses, they cracked, she didn't care
Then this pinata

A mighty ship, Titanic

They built a ship,
to sail the blue.
A  sight of wonder,
a dream come true.
They thought they built,
a mighty view.
There is no sea,
it can’t sail through.

But they were wrong.
For what they built, 
was not so strong.
It brought them death,
that is for sure.
In the dark of night,
too far from shore.
An iceberg hit,
and flank it tore.

Husbands and wives,

Premium Memberthe last minutes of the Titanic

the band leader motioned for the men to keep playing
They were not getting off alive, but they could go down with music
confusion and yelling was heard from all sides of the deck
cowardly men were dressing like women, hoping for a life boat seat

the kitchen was breaking apart now
you could hear loud cracking and groaning

Ye' Ole' Titanic, 
That sailed across the seas
An iceberg did it come to see
It stood in the ships way dismayed
Of a ships voyage that now is display.

The lives it had lost and were taken, 
On that saddened treacherous day
Broke hearts of many other's lives
If what we lost in that very same way.

The maydays must have

Premium MemberI Hate Wet Socks

I hate wet socks.
I'm knee-deep with diapers floating by.
The steel stairs steps (that go up!) 
Just 10 feet from me.
Seawater pouring in from every orifice.
I'd be dead already if I had not bribed the head caterer.
Snagged me a spot 2 levels up 
From what is now completely submerged.

I start breast-stroking it through the brackish, 
Freezing
