World's shortest screenplay. Pattrick

These three lines emphasize the tragedy and create so much feeling.

You sum up the tragedy so well in this Classical Haiku. Within those three lines, devastation and absolute sadness. Proper tribute. ~Elizabeth

Brilliantly haunting and powerful Haiku!

...taking on waves....heavy heart~

all it takes are two ships passing in the night.

Powerful 'ku; kudos to you.

Rose's heart was saved
by the lifeboat of Jack's love:
virgin shores no more.

... and how she would love this! Thank God for the 700 or so saved but each of the 1500++ lost is a personal tragedy on an epic scale. My heart breaks with every fresh tale told... No sun, no moon... Kate xx

I have great fondness for Haiku. This one, too.--Diana

Living my whole life as a resident of Halifax, NS where the majority of the bodies were buried after the sinking we still remember this tragedy each year in plays, concerts, memorials and just visits to the gravesites...some still unnamed. When the grave markers were first planned out they were all to be uniform in size and quality and arrayed in the shape of a ships hull from stern to bow. With three different religious grave yards at the time they chose who would be buried where basically by their last names. EG: If they had a Irish name...Catholic, English...protestant etc etc. Anyway great ku that truly reflects the suddeness which the great ship went down and took so many to a watery death.

back in 1952 when i was a small boy
i met a survivor, he lived a few miles
from my uncle's place; he was in his late sixties
then and went on to live to ninety..
there but for fortune..

i like your delivery, Jude, substance in brevity

Hey Jude,
There has been a lot of hype these past few days about the Titanic..Inspiring words for sure...So much said with so few words, you have nailed it for sure.

Nicely written!

Peace, light and love,

unsinkable ship
five days out hits an iceberg

I suppose the only saving grace is that they partied until the waves came crashing through. It must have been an amazing experience to have been aboard that magnificient vessel though a watery grave is not a prefered method of crossing over for me.
Take care,
Sherry

good one, Ed ;) glad to have inspired a spontaneous ku ...

watch out for iceberg
cutting hole in big liner
to the bottom fast

Nearer my God to thee....
