I find this to be a moving, sophisticated poem. I have spent some time with it, reading and rereading each stanza. I must admit I found myself thumbing a subtle breeze through my American Heritage as I looked up repast, vale, and steep. Thank you so much for this. I have been on fanstory since mid May and this is my all time favorite piece. Free verse with some rhyme is my preference, but with this...To take this tragic event and pen words that are worthy of such is true artistry.

Hello victortouche,
Excellent use of metaphor in this poignant tale so well known to all. I loved this part in particular:
And when the ocean's crossed,
whether steerage or the boss,
we'll steep no waves tomorrow.
And when the descent does come,
we'll gently drift and wander.
Feathers come to rest
upon the silent floor.
Well done.
Ray

Great poem!How soldiers must go into battle not knowing. I think you were able to grasp their feelings and emotions .The stanza where you talk about laughter and friends gathering round shows comradre.The part of freedom showing what theses men and women do to protect our freedom is indeed wonderful. Thank you .

"A Titanic Tribute" is a beautifully written tribute to the unsinkable ship of our time. In the end, there was no doubt. Poem reads very smooth from beginning to end. Well done.

This is a five just for the author's note alone! A very evocative piece. It's much more optimistic than it appears.
I hope this helps and good luck.

This was riveting and stayed that way from beginning to end. I could feel the final moments of the passengers and actually put myself in their doomed shoes. Excellent work!!

I spit in the ocean once...there was no universal twittering that the tides were affected or that a tidal wave...I refuse to use some johnny come lately Japanese term...happened...So am I insignificant...when it comes to tidal waves..but once I splashed in the tub and water was everywhere..and nor a drop to drink..and my mother, she told me how significant I was...bless her for the perspective.
