Long Arctic ocean Poems

Sponsor: Carol Eastman

I met a grandfatherly man...
He was clean shaven, tiny and crabby,
And always wore a floppy black suit, his name was Mr. Atnas.

See, I was at such...

Alaska; the wilderness state, the last frontier:
Where majestic mountains,
Deliver streams into flowing rivers:
Down slopes covered in forests
Of Sitka Spruce and Western Hemlock,
That dominates the landscape.
The name Alaska originates
From the Aleut word ‘Alyeska,’

The Hospital Asile

Like the highway as long it goes
Like the lover's longing 
Like the winter's silence 
Like prisoned midnight and falling dawn 
Like the voyages made by Christopher 

Tube lights and window panes,
Sang the lullaby.

Hear the song of humpback whales
Gathering in Hawaiian waters,
Gathering for Cetacean opera,
Male exclusive grand recital;
On the brink of epic journey
To Alaska’s icy waters.

Shoals of herring feed off plankton.
Humpbacks fresh from...

Perched on the freezing northern high latitude
On the broken floating ice sheets the polar bears move alert
Looking down the holes for bearded seals for meal that may elude
Arctic ice flounders facing the climate change brunt
Ravaged...
