Sea Fever by John Masefield – Poem of the Day

The Ship of No Return

A voyage which no one thought would be their last,

The sheer size of the ship gigantic and enormous,

The safest ships of all,

But that feeling didn’t last longer,

A monstrous white sheet of ice,

The collision caused the hull plates to buckle inwards along her starboard,

Flooding the ship all along deck by deck,

Out in the ocean cold and all alone,

Cries were heard,

Prayers were said,

The ship was sinking waving her last goodbye,

The titanic breaks in two halves,

The story now lies at the bottom of the ocean…

Out in the ocean the storm descended upon us,

It was a brutal night as the sun disappears,

Secure the sails called out the captain, the nature’s force wreaks fury on the ship,

the ship was sinking one could hear the screams of the families cry out,

They were all washed overboard, trembling waves brought them down

they shivered and trembled from the frozen cold water one last look at the ship go down,

They were at the bottom of the ocean and no one to help them they were gone..
