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
