    About this ebook

    It was written in a loose iambic pentameter, octave rhyme, as a form of cloaking the subject matter. It was written as a catharsis and for an English class -- the Professor rejected it. Because of the subject matter.

    It is a story poem of disaster on a Navy ship, and the display of spiritual love of one man for another.

    It is being told by myself. It is what I saw.

      The day began as so many have done

      And I now tell this tale of woe to you.

      A tale that darks my heart like some dead sun

      That spins through the universe’s void hue.

      This my tale, if you excuse the pun,

      Is one that will follow me my life through,

      This incident did change my attitude
