I like how you bounded the poem with the images of the Titanic, one of the most notable images of unexpected loss in the 20th century.

I also like how you broke up the lines, especially in the second verse.

It really is a gut punch. Please share more. I hope this particular forum will eventually have more original poetry from its members.

Thank you for posting.
