poem \"Shackleton\"

This poem was written as a mere thought for the creative writing portion of a project I was doing my freshman year of high school... so bear with me. :-)

Shackleton --11.03.00 Friday--
Sir Ernest Shackleton was his name,
And being the first to cross Antarctica was his game.
Though quite dangerous,
And very complex;
Never did he linger,
Or be vexed.

His crew of twenty-eight,
And his sled pulling husky dogs;
They made their way to the Arctic continent,
In hopes not found in their ship logs.

One the first of August, 1914,
The Endurance sailed to the land of ice;
And after the thirteenth of July, 1915,
It was sent to the watery depths of its vice.
