The Alaskan Tizheruk Poem

More about The Alaskan Tizheruk Poem

In Alaska's icy waters, dark and deep,
Lurks a creature that makes hearts skip a beat,
Tizheruk, with scales that glisten in the moonlight,
A serpent's body, a fearsome sight.
Its eyes are keen, its fangs are sharp,
A predator that prowls in the dark,
A legend whispered by the locals,
A mystery that leaves them in vocal.
With tales of sailors who've seen its form,
A serpentine creature, wild and warm,
Slicing through the waves with speed and grace,
Leaving awe and wonder in its trace.
But is it friend or is it foe?
No one knows for sure, though many show,
Respect for Alaska's Tizheruk,
A mythic beast, a legend true.
