seamen pulling hard
powerful harpooner strikes
Nantucket sleigh ride
unyielding force of nature
sea claims sailors forever...

Sperm Whale
Creature of deep seas
Battle scars from giant squid
A rare appearance
Stay well hidden from whalers
Inspiration of Melville.

Hinomaru - Japanese Flag
rising blood red sun -
   spatters mount Fuji as
   whalers fly flag









I wrote this poem to try to write what a country's flag might
represent to an individual.  I love whales and dolphins so this
is what it represents to me....

Morning fog was parting  for the day's performance,
and an audience of just me sat cross legged,
waiting for ghosts.
They appeared slowly, one by one.
Old whalers, freighters and, fifty yards out, 
slate grey bones scarred with burnt sienna,
a young trawler.
A Cormorant dried its wings on the wheelhouse,
primary feathers spread, glistening ebony,
tattered like a tramp's raincoat.
The surf  whispered warnings.
