Cinquain Poem

We are writing cinquain poems in the class, and this is an great example of using word choice to establish mood.  The sinking of the Titanic was an emotional event, and I think this poet describes it well in 5 lines.

Shipwrecked

Titanic,

Screaming people,

Rescue boats afloat,

Falling beneath the waves,

Missing.
