"Old Ironsides" by Oliver Wendell Holmes is an interesting poem if you can actually understand it. I had a hard time figuring out what the poem was even talking about until I looked up what the author was actually saying. When I did figure out what the poem was saying I thought it was very nice. The author is talking about trying to convince everyone not to take down this old, worn down ship in port, but to let it out to sea where it belongs to sink. The poem talks about how there were many heros aboard the ship and it was very important. I think that is a good message because he is sticking up for what he believes in even if it is just about an old ship.
