Sense Sonnet - Acher

 A Song of a Wreck

November tenth, the month and day,

Nineteen seventy five, the year,

S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald ship lay

Bottom of Lake Superior here,

Where all crew of twenty nine died,

None of the remains ever found,

As the great lake did decide

To keep her dead forever bound.

No doubt a storm brought the ship down,

But never known the how or why.

The tragic truth that day did drown

With all the living who did die.

Gordon Lightfoot made the wreck be

Part of musical history.
