    Poem Commentary

    I, like many people became facinated with the wreck of the Titanic when the movie came out and when they found the ship on the bottom of the ocean and went down to see it in the submercable. This poem tells the story of the night she went down.

    Poseidon's Tears

    From the stocal realm of Poseiden
    The sirens beckoned her down.
    Stabbed by the icy fingers of Neptune
    Exposing the wound at her heart
    They built her strong and proud
    No, Never would she wear a shroud
    They said she would not die.

    "Lower away, lower away the life boats
    Came the cry.
    The soft strains of a hymn brought calm
    Nearer my God to Thee, the band played on
    Slowly, ever so slowy as she slipped beneath the waves
    Wails of terror cound be heard
    Then silence, not one uttered another word
    That April night as dathe came and
    Posienden Cried.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
