Description This is a story about a fallen legend,
Told by history across many generations
A ship more beautiful than we can imagine,
With a lore that spread across many nations.

She was destined to conquer the mighty ocean
The moment her steel body touched the water,
Breaking the waves with fast and graceful motion
She was casting a spell that would never falter.

Swift like a greyhound running over the seas,
Leaping from one continent to another,
The ship passed through every storm with ease,
Piercing the water with a strength like no other.

She would later succumb to the wounds of war
That would plunge her to a dark and lonely grave;
The once mighty ship now resting on the sea floor,
Too deep to hear the sound of a breaking wave.

But her image is alive to us like a clear vision,
Her beauty and grace still haunting our memories;
Even from the cold abyss of a timeless prison
She sends echoes that travel through centuries.

Are you talking about the titanic? Because it only sailed once and crashed the same time. I like your poem. It's really pretty. I guess I'm just confused.

I can understand the confusion. Actually, I am talking about the Lusitania, a passenger liner that was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine in 1915, killing 1200 people. Maybe the way I wrote it can also relate the poem to the Titanic, which is alright. Also, thank you for liking it!

Oh I see.  Hope you didn't think I was rude.  I was really confused.  But I did like it.  I actually think it's because you showed me the poem you didn't tell me.  In other words it haad lots of descibing words.
