Sense Sonnet - Acher
Last Time They Chose
Isidor and Ida Straus wed
Forty one years when tragedy,
The Titanic sinking, instead
Of boarding lifeboats, he and she
Chose that two others take their place,
And on deck, together they stayed
Till two twenty a.m. to face
Their drowning death, the choice they made.
Ida's body never was found.
Isidor's was recovered and
His pocket watch showed time be bound,
Two twenty a.m. as fate planned.
The gold pocket watch, a gift to
Isidor from Ida, love true.
