The Tragic Titanic Sinking Poem by Sherif Monem

The Titanic the luxury steamship
Fabulously built and true legend
On her maiden joyous voyage
Crossing the North Atlantic ocean
From the port of Southampton, England
to the new world and New York city
Fate suddenly struck with drama
At the dawn of a new century
In a moonless pitch dark night
In early April 14, year 1912
Tragedy visited in bold letters
There were many icebergs around
The ship collided with a hidden one
The captain realized what had happened
There were calls for quick evacuation
Women and children were first to leave
The water was dark, chilly and icy
There were few lifeboats for rescue
The passengers were in total panic
Many jumped off the shipboard
to their doom and tragic drowning
Others from hypothermia soon died
Calls for ships in the close area
Please come in hurry and help
Telegraphic signals were sent
The Titanic sank in few hours
A tragic page of history unfolded
More than 1500 lives perished
The first ship came to rescue
more than two hours too late
The frightened passengers on lifeboats
were pulled up and luckily saved
The raging waters beneath
showed no mercy or care
Across the other side of the ocean
At New York city port
friends and relatives
all were anxiously waiting
The sinking of the Titanic
news soon reached them
Each praying their loved ones
have been miraculously rescued
The Titanic tragic sinking
still remembered to our days
Titanic stories are recounted
Books written and movies made
