The Sinking Of Steamship Titanic Poem by Sherif Monem

Tragedy had 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 to leave first
The water was dark, chilly and icy
There were some lifeboats but few
The passengers were in total panic
Many jumped off the shipboard
From hypothermia many soon died
Calls for rescue ships in the 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 thousand lives perished
The first ship came to rescue
more than two hours too late
The frightened passengers on lifeboats
were pulled up to the rescue ship
The raging ocean waters beneath
showed no mercy or moment of care
Across the other side of the ocean
At New York city port
friends and relatives
all were anxiously waiting
