Death of a Crowded Planet

The whole lot was outstanding, no trace of complication,

The maiden, swollen with pride, travelled furiously,

The passengers’ hearts beating faster than common,

Being a fraction of evidence inside the womb of history.

 

Touch of coyness on her cheeks was not in attendance,

Rather dancing with a towering head on the water,

Utterly oblivious of the black hand of chance,

The infernal being is getting ready to batter.

 

The water scheming with the ice-berg devoured her in totality,

The crowded planet will laze on the ocean floor save for eternity.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The poem is about the sinking of the Titanic.
