Titanic

By James Fitzpatrick

Titanic is written in ‘Triplicism’ and revolves around a conversation between SO or SM Lightoller (Highest Ranked) surviving officer on RMS Titanic and Millvina Dean a two month old who was carried from sinking ship. She was steerage, which is third class, and was saved in a bundle of cloth, but would have no memory of what happened.

In the poem Lightoller tells her what happens on his final deck inspection, one hour and forty minutes before the Titanic hit’s the Iceberg.

He tells his story in the first person present, to give the impression he’s closing his eyes remembering and reliving, for the first time since the Titan sank. The poem also doubles as an analogy of the Euro Zone Crisis, as well as holding a third layer of thought through the addition of ‘Hamlets’ Moral corruption.

James Fitzpatrick

James Fitzpatrick is an Irish writer and documentarian who writes using ‘Triplicism’. He has been writing for many years mainly working in Film Production, Sport and Teaching. From study and learning from historical writers, he created two new formats ‘Triplicism’ being one. In this you take a central character, from which you storyboard an incident or life. You use an invented or historical event, before infusing an undertone or emotion. Each poem should have three layers i.e. Modernism V Conceptualism, Poverty V Wealth, Moral Corruption V Natural Aggression and the storyline is nearly always accompanied by notes
