The Story Of Titanic With A Different View

With some modulation and to better understand the concept of my poem , I am posting again my oldest and best poem "TITANIC". I wrote this after watching this touching movie...really touched that it ended me in writing a poem about it.

This poem is based on a man, the Captain’s best pal and First Officer William McMaster Murdoch.
Murdoch was the officer in charge at the bridge when the Titanic struck the iceberg on 14 April 1912. There are varying accounts as to what orders Murdoch gave in order to avoid collision with the iceberg.Also he is depicted as an honest officer who struggled to save the people from sinking but at last committed suicide on the great Titanic regretting his mistake of killing a man. Read the poem to get more out of it and notice that each sentence ends with rhyming end.

TITANIC( A one man story begins....) By Uma Maheswari.A

To read the book of the Sea

I started my life as a sailor

I traveled in a ship named titanic

Which I never knew, at the end, would wreck

I saw all kinds of people, young and old

And the rich people dressed in emery and gold

To the view I could reach, I see

A tiny dot, the head of the harbor

I saw a baby boy cry so high

Which startled a brown-bearded guy

I went to the deck to look below

To view how beautiful the water flows

And to see how the shark paddles is fun

Under the great ship which runs

I could see my captain eyes so proud

Looking gracefully around the moving crowd

I went near him and gave him a smile

He said, “Oh! My boy we are almost near Nile”

Then at noon, I was asked to dine in a precious hall

Where good sketches and rare paintings decorated the wall

Sipping in great anticipation of pleasure

We made a stimulating conversion of Titanic as treasure

Nearly three thousand people are on our (titanic) land

Along with merry cookers and bright solo band

Each had their own enjoyment and party,

The Upper class with meat and wine and the Lower with tea

Deep fear and horror struck my heart

When I heard of the ship going to have its last bath

Hit by the glacier gave the ship a big hole

Which is going to swallow the life of the whole

Sunset cloud carved with soft knife fill the sky

And our great titanic like tigers track (in snow) slowly moves by

Inside the big room, the captain and the crew made a move to find

A way to escape with a heavy heart and disordered mind

Soon the message spread out like swarm of bees in the air

And there seemed confused face filled with wrath everywhere

Soon preparation were made to carry women and children in boats

And for people who don’t know swimming were given swimming coats

Some men’s were fierce to escape along with children and made fuss

Some didn’t try but slept in silence since they felt things are hopeless

Measures were made fast to preclude the entry of water from all places

And for me, things meant impossible for the water seems to take its race

Bad! At last ,the ship was being sucked in like a dog’s bone And the poor people, some nearly flat with fright gave a dull moan One by one, the boats went on as it was decided In front of those men who are growing pale and red The great ship was being sucked in very fast And still thousands of people were left at last Our captain the real men was sad enough to miss Our Ship, so he went went inside his room to give the ship his last kiss Like sudden bomb blast, waters broke into the windows And in every place I could hear people crying and their furious roars People who told that it was pleasure to travel in titanic Now started to blame the ship feeling tired and sick I tried to control the people with my gun Targeting at those people who tried to run Becoming rage with anger at a man who was going away from my will Off I took my gun and aimed at him to kill He fell down giving me a startling look near my arm And all the people around me was shocked to calm Ashamed of my work, I aimed at my head with my pistol I shot with a sudden jerk and down I fell I could no more hear the cries coming from the Titanic, the ship A wonderful treasure, which we had and still keep ________________________THE END_________________________ Hi , I request you all to watch this video from youtube.I have been very lucky to have got this ,very apt to my poem.
