Your poem about Titanic... Should enter Poetic Land... Like Rumi’s...and many others…you admire and praise... I always wanted poeting...about Titanic... But we had worst man-made tragedy than that We lost 1.5 million innocent lives... During the same dates (1894-1923) Those who never killed a bird... Including my grandfather and his kin...peers...and more We lost not only lives... Lands, gold, bank accounts, Churches, Fortresses, which belonged to us before Christ We were tortured...cursed... Still continues without any help No race had what we had Still our genocide not recognized…Yet By people who think have a deep ‘Christian Faith’...! Still 2 million Armenians are 'Turkified' (Lost their Faiths, cultures, name…surnames…! ! !) In their Armenian Highland (Anatolia) And are unable to open their mouths...! We are discovering day by day through the Internets…! Sylva-MD-Poetry Written instantly

This is a fine and intricate commemorative verse and definitely enhanced by the notation. Great work and a genuinely respectful tribute.

An epic poem; You have managed to portray more of a vivid picture through your words than the new 3-D version on the silver screen. Much time and energy must have been spent on this one, nicely done Valerie......
