A luxury and travel story narrated in poem form expresses the style of the author. To feel a tragic situation the style of poem is exemplary. Read by all those love travel poems.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I thought this was a really great read and so busy and filled with such description of the excitement of the voyage to the first ignored warning to the peril of sinking. I could almost see this story unfolding by you well chosen words and story construct. Well done Cheers Christine

    Wow I thought they took away most six away, see you found one of them, thanks for all the above, hope my fans aren't disappointed in me, I never had fans, excepts those to cool me before buying air conditioner, I would weep but I'm a rock, trying to be invisible -exposed

this is an excellent write, tpac, you did an excellent job writing this free verse poem about the horror of a ship capsizing in the ocean, losing so much life. I enjoyed reading it.

Sad that so many looked forward to this voyage -- never once thinking it might be their last. You told the story in fine poetic form and I wish you success in the contest.

I learned about this disaster from your poem. I tend to turn off to bad news-there is just too much of it. At first i thought it might be about the titanic, but it is different. I think it shows how life can change in an instant.

    Definitely statement in poem is profound: you struck my aimed target Be on watch consistently. Too, many mishaps for me, at Downing Stadium got caught up in crowd panics, this was one of three, and by that particular event, a concert in Harlem, beautiful people and giving crowd, things changed. Crowd panic when speaker play galloping horse music. Stampede Rare Earth open concert performances, only saw two Thanking for your far too generous rates and on target insights of one aspect of Endurance

I'm not a fan of long poems, because I tend to lose interest, but your poem kept me interested, and stopped me from moving on to the next poem. Well done and truly a contender.

Did you know that men and boys were prevented from boarding lifeboats from the sinking Titanic at gunpoint? Poem flows smoothly throughout. Well written. Write on.

    Alliance again terrorizing so called humanity, with such consistent acts throughout time, throughout decades. No I didn't know that, add one more to my memory of them and coming sorrows. Same occurred in Katrina Thank you for over generous rate with informative insights
