Now this is a very clever write. Congratulations on that. "Ice" - "Sunk" Great job. The Titanic is a tragedy that we'll never forget. Much luck in the contest. Marilyn

Who can forget this epic disaster, and many movies made about it. People are still keenly interested in its story. It was supposed to be unsinkable, but accidents happen. I just read a suspense novel by Mary Higgins Clark about the maiden voyage of a ship that was compared to the Titanic in its elegance. Lots of bad stuff happened on the voyage. A great one set entirely on the ship if you like Clark, it's a fascinating read. Your syllable count is correct, and best of luck in the contest. Am wondering why this showed up on the non-fiction side. judi

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
They said she was so unsinkable
Ice
Sunk
That's the story in a nutshell, but why didn't the captain see the iceberg in time? Didn't have radar until 1941. Too bad.

This is an excellent poem which clearly fulfills the syllable count and the reader can remember the horror of the event. The two single word lines are thoughtfully chosen and have maximum impact for the reader. Thanks for sharing.

There is not much one can say with so few words allowed but you have managed to relay a tragic story with only just 11 syllables. Well done on portraying this sad but historical piece and best of luck in the competition. ~DD

The poems haikus are in fact very difficult because there are the simplification of the idea, Japanese in all its long culture have provided of I improved that they are known, many of it real works of art and many of use in well-known sayings, I liked yours, congratulations. But this poem isen´t haiku of course more dificult,

That was a terrible incident and a wonderful movie. Great topic for a short poem. I like the irony of Titanic and 9-1-1. Yeah, I picked up on that quickly. LOL. Strong visual imagery. Nice work. Good luck in the contest.

Very well conceived and composed expression of an existential theme. The image renders the subject exquisitely. Good luck in the contest.

A new take on an old tale.
I hadn't seen this form of poetry until entries came pouring in for this contest. I like it. It is very profound, if used well, and you used yours well.
Good luck in the contest. I'll be thinking about Titanic, Molly Brown, and your entry tonight.
