PoorJack

A Poem by Wondering Mind

yesterday

i let go and floated

you see, in the sea

if you’re alive, you float

if you just relax and let go

so I wondered

did Jack let go of life

and died

the door Rose was on

you see

could hold two people

even more

so, did Jack die twice?

Honest, I knew this was about Titanic, as it was my niece's favourite movie and I must have watched it while babysitting a squillion times.
Poetically, twice does work better than a squillion, but that is indeed my answer to your question. 😊
I do love the idea of just floating in the sea and letting go... While I'm on holiday I might add. Just to the right of the map, is the North Sea and if you take a sharp left, it becomes the ARCTIC OCEAN!!!
I didn't shout that, its just how we spell it here! Just offshore, there are oilrigs warning staff at all times to wear safety gear, as they wouldn't last ten seconds in that water, while on the beach, mother's are stripping kids down to shorts or pants and throwing them in, saying "oh stop moaning, ya big Jessie!" 😊

They say that love requires sacrifice, and that's what jack did. Its a debate in the vast internet that they should both have survived. It good to see you back my friend.

My mind wandered too here straight to the sinking of the Titanic and the story of Rose and Jack. Survival in those ice cold waters even if you could float would have been impossible. You gave me many visuals here, some relaxing and lovely, others heartbreaking. Well done.
