Alaskan Verses - Sonnet # 11

In this blue cold seas
where Magellans passed by here
so he has never sailed here
and he had passed away

This sea is full of life
which currets that carries Alaska
in the same place where we were born
and how many days I don't see my wife

Oh, blue cold seas
In dark of night,
in the swing of the sea

Wherever the sea is furious
we have to fight,
without being afraid to face it.

Alaskan Verses - Sonnet # 10

Alaska, spirit of the sea
these shores of enchantment
at the north of the continent
In the boats where I'd be

Blue seas of Pacific
we take everything that we eat
In the boat, beneath my feet
There's Poseidon's rage, but without panic

The seas might be dangerous
These men's got a courage
The fisherman loves that he does

They know how to face the Nature's forces
Poseidon shows his rage
In this big ocean may be our weaknesses

Alaskan Verses - Sonnet # 9

For centuries, we've killed whales
What a killing, what a suffering
It was a bad dream, that is my felling
That man hunted them, but your grandson loves the whales

The meat, we used to eat
The oil, we used to turn on the lights and to build the our house
The whaling was like to hunt mouse
to stop whaling is to meet them close to our feet

Be in Alaska and in the world
They were born to be wild
The sea is a teasure and the whales are like gold

Just ourselves can save them
Because the whale is innocent child
They might be holly and this chain may not be broken

Alaskan Verses - Sonnet # 8

When I spent the night, there was a 100-year-old man
He told me good stories when he was younger
He was a brave whaler, no wonder he was one of the stronger
He showed some pictures of the hunted whale by those men

He talked to me when he ever traveled to hunt whales
He's ever seen the nicest and the biggest star
Polaris, a big yellow star that helps you go so far
this senior man used to hunt and his memory never fails

When I just looked at big picture
I've been shocked when I saw all the dead whales
because they killed them by pleasure

In those years, the whaling was really a blood leak
Everything in the whale was used, but the killing was terrible
Thanks for prohibiting the whaling 'cause the world is sick

Alaskan Verses - Sonnet # 7

Like all the boats are full of fish
The fisherman are coming to see his mother
They were taking out the nets from the water
They were tired, but the jorney didn't finish

Their families haven't seen them so long
but they know these men loves the sea
They are brave and you also can be
they are storytellers and they are strong

Back to Homer, all the boats was returning
Good or bad, it's worth it a lot
Then everybody are grilling the fish and it's all burning

So I spent the night at the old man's house
in that cold day, the fire of the fireplace keeps hot
He was a whale hunter and there was some pictures in the whole house

Alaskan Verses - Sonnet # 6

On board, I've seen a whale
that sailors and the fisherman are impressed
and they are just looking a the whales and they aren't embarrassed
they were hypnotize and the hypnosis didn't fail

When that whale that went up to the surface
It shows us what's to live
and we share the same space with us ans we must believe
The whale is a mirror of our conscience when we look at our face

The whale that we're seen
Nature, you're always blessed and It has been wonderful
At the sea and ground, the nature touches on the skin

Though the nature is so nice
The nature is fragile, so we must preserve and we are faithful
to keep it alive, we have to think twice

Alaskan Verses - Sonnet # 5

These unkown seas, here with the fisherman
At the Bering Sea, America and Asia is so close
To be a fisherman, you have to be strong and wise
and the sea offers much things to Alaskan men

We only see the water arond us
whose the waters offers all the seafood
and all the storms that we have stood
Underwater is all the seafood that feed us

Thor, Don't bring any storms during the trip
For several months, we've seen our wives and children
and we've been spending the time fishing on board this ship

Our lives are fragile and precious
Beacuse we can't be beaten
I didn't wash Thor was furious
