This was such a terrible disaster! You've painted a picture of the ships' last day and the lives of those lost.
"the silent floor" reminds one of how it all ended. Did you know that the band played "Nearer My God To Thee" as they went down? Great poem! V.A.

Hmmm! Very interesting look at life in the perspective of one's finality. I think however one's focus should be on the moment and be grateful. joyous and lively.

Comment from Hitcher
This is an awesome read Vic, loved the style and wordage used to breathe life into it friend. It is a little gem, your first stanza was awesome, how could one not want to read on after reading that, refined writing worthy of a six star rating any day. Loved it!

The type of language used, like that in epic poems of old, gives a sense of grandeur. I can visualize the subject of the poem standing in the windy bow of the ship, thumbing his nose at fate. The end is beautifully said -- Feathers come to rest upon the silent floor. Well done!

Now those were nice compliments to hear. Funny how praise never seems to get stale.

An extremely well received review. I can guarantee U. As much as two people become one in marriage, we remain separate and apart as well. It is actually a mystery, if done as I think it was intended. I believe ( naively perhaps, quaintly perhaps ), that man and woman were one at one time. Torn apart. Each retaining what characteristics came with them from the whole. When marriage works as I think it was intended, the union of these two can approach the former blissfullness. I am not particularly religious, but this is what I refer to as regaining the Garden of Eden.

It truly was my pleasure in reading and reviewing this. Have you read THE PROPHET by Kahil Gebran (not sure of the spelling)? There is a chapter (1 or 2 small pages on marriage and it is so true). He can say more in one small page than most people can say in an entire book. Patti :)

This is some fantastic writing. I have
never seen your work before and must say
I am totally impressed with your imagery
and rhythm. You have a natural way of
expressing your thoughts and it seems
your words flow on the paper.
Thank you for sharing such a magnificent
work. It makes being part of Fanstory so significant.

A smokestack for show? What were they thinking?
Eloquently written, though i'm not sure i understand it all. Reminds me of the scene (in the last movie) where the captain returns to the helm and waits for the ocean to claim him.
The poem seems to pick up steam (sic) toward the end
