An interesting rendering of an horrific event still keenly remembered as one of mans most cruelly glaring displays of hubris and arrogance. In reading your account I was put in mind of one of those year-in-a-minute TV presentations. Just flashes of events without the narrative. An honorable effort.

    Yet work is defined grammatically incorrect in presentation lacks coherency. Thanking you for generous rate and captivating views.

This concept piece is certainly free verse with inside out syntax and somewhat confusing timeline...works on several levels. The feeling of being on board and out of control plus a story we all know. Interesting. Thanks.

Sorry to give you a four, but it really doesn't make a lot of sense. You need to work on grammar and sentence structure. I believe it's about Titanic which was indeed a tragedy. All best. Ulla:)

Hi there,

I think I have mentioned this before but your work needs some work on the technical and grammatical aspects to make it a little more poetic.

The sentence structure is such that the reader can get lost in the meaning quite easily.

All the best

You have chosen a very nice illustration. This is a nice FREE VERSE POETRY contest entry?, I think, about the Titanic..,when the families were telling the passengers goodbye. Good luck on your entry.

This poem, Loss, is epic in its rs telling the incredible, terrifying, and sad story of the sinking of the Titanic. Each line is packed with action and movement, as though witnessing the fast-paced activities. The entire build up of the luxury and happiness, until the accident and horror that followed, this poem seems to witness it all. Really good.

I had read this once before and it is still as good as it was then. It is written well and is worth the read. Way to go my friend. It is neat how you used a ship and the suction and spiraling flow as well. Clever,

You have chosen a great topic and have lots of vivid details to work with. I appreciate the fact that you have used rhyme to unify the lines in each stanza. but woe, alas, this needs more work. Many lines sound like notes for a poem and sometimes the effort to make a rhyme results in incoherency. (e.g."Adventurous adults efforts in interacts sit at bar trying to relieve stress; their daily current to be pressures had." what does this mean? Read your work aloud and more than once. It needs to flow more. Work on the disjointed bits of imagery. You have lots of good details and personal observations, go to it!

I think some of the sentences were a little rough and hard to follow. But as an overall poem, it gets the message across. The feeling of people going on a holiday cruise intending to have a fun time with family and friends then it all goes wrong.
