This Night
{I don't really know if this can be called poetry, but I scribbled it out while overhearing something that was on TV about the Titanic. It's not very polished but I like it anyway}
Up from steerage
The deck is crowded
All the ladies in their evening gowns.
Rich man tells me to get in a boat.
I fear.
Can we really be sinking?
The band is playing.
Nearer, my God to Thee.
I am cold.
Dawn comes.
There are bodies, floating upright
Faces, seen. Souls, gone.
