"SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP" 

Hello there, Lou-Here By His Grace
This is a Simply Positive Review! *DragonflyV*


*PirateShip* I am also reviewing this item because it popped-up on the Random Review generator.

The Don:
One of New England's worst boat tragedies. It went down in 1941, off the rocky coast of Maine. 34 souls were lost. Also, it was the catalyst that changed maritime law.

*Tackb* Quite the interesting subject matter for this "docu-poem." It has the mysterious haunt drifting through the lines. I like that.

*Globe* Your poem appears to be a free verse that tells a huge story that the reader can picture in her mind. Free verse is a fine way to tell a story of this magnitude, it keeps all that rhyming stuff out of the forefront, thus showing the reader the tragic event without making it sound less serious as some rhyming poems can sound.


My Favorite Part:

"Basking on the forward deck,
Otto McKenzie and his wife,
Took in the whales sounding,
Toward the starboard bow,
Out off the rocky shoals."

*Boat* You introduce the reader to one of the couples on board, making it more realistic in the reader's mind. That's a very clever way to make the readers care for them, even though the tragedy happened before my time.

*Seal* Good way to bring some historical facts to life within the lines of poetry.

Excellent! *ScallopO*

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*
