Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Kraken

Throughout all ocean history

Humans would spot us and then claim

Us giant monsters of the sea.

Humans called us kraken by name.

Yes, we capsized ships in the day,

But not with malicious intent.

Humans just sailed in our way.

Collision was an accident.

My current dilemma is that

From stormy waters I got tossed

On rocky shore habitat.

Efforts to move have brought exhaust.

I've been spotted, some human did.

No kraken, just a dying squid.
