The Endurance Poem by Ima Ryma

The Endurance



In 1915 off the coast
Of Antarctica she brought her
Crew in high hopes that they could boast
Of a South Pole goal first for sure.
But ship Endurance could not be
Enduring through the time and place
Of fury from the Weddell Sea.
Abandon ship her crew did face.
They watched her disappear from sight,
Ten thousand feet down to descend
Into the darkness from the light.
Her sailing days came to an end.

In 2022 search bound,
Remains of the Endurance found.
