Long Nessie Poems

Sometimes I wonder what is the point
To life, the universe and everything?
Then I remember that the venture is joint

And visitors from outer space
I wonder if they will...

While looking for Elvis
Met Nessie in Loch Ness
Hoarding a leprechauns pot of gold

While getting ready to depart
I tripped over the Lost Ark
In the baggage of a hitchhiking Pharaoh

Thought I had got lost in flight
Stumble into...

Indeed, fear of the Number “13” does have a real and

In Lochness, an undulating giant lives; 
legendary Nessie; giant oarfish or 
prehistoric remnant?  
No one knows for certain, 
but he bothers no one; leave him be.

In mountainous terrain, walks the Yeti.
Part man; part beast;...

but do you really want...

They orbit long with brief visions of each,
four pitch-lit eyes strike the shapeless hour.
How handsomely becoming is Houdini ‘pon a coward,
and who, really, is he, to hide away the breach?

Half the world is hidden, nay,

Perhaps you’ll start to suddenly
Put your logic up on a shelf

His slender serpentine neck, silently sliced through the surface tension,
sending ripples stirring in the calm waters of Loch Ness,
He was jittery; leery of being seen.

But, a pudgy-faced moon spun its light into a ribbon
of golden...

It is a moonlit night
in my dream,
and the water is still with no ripples.

The Loch Ness is
a large, deep waterway
in the Scottish Highlands.
This is where
Nessie
lives, so it is said, anyways.

No one is really sure
if Nessie...

Haggis hype

The cooling evening breeze lifted and moved the laggard clouds
filtering the burnished moon through the sheer curtains  on  either side,
makes nature shiver.

Moon holds its gaze with longing over the Scottish Highlands
watching Nessie swim...

Oh, dear Nessie, how you captivate us
when you rise up within the Loch Ness shores.
You swim and slither just above the surface,
serpentine and solid to many eyes,
yet, still a myth in any reference book.

But what...

In a house with an address of 8008.

Some nights they would kayak around and around
So quietly; there was nary a sound.

One night they heard an...

There’s an ancient
thing of wisdom
in a cavern
in the sea;
deep down in murky waters
lying, sleeping peacefully.

At times it will awaken
take a travel-contemplation
or perhaps a short vacation
to collect new wisdom-seeds.

Sometimes it peeks
out from beneath
those liquid silvery waves;
then...

Nessie slept soundly cuddling
the tin-plate toy submarine
fitted with plastic wood head
on long sinuous neck attached to
the conning tower, that drifted down
to Nessie's hideout deep in the cave 
at the bottom of Loch Ness.

Nessie knew the...

Nessie, Wattie and Kin
 
A full ten years before Nessie was first sighted
Colonel Arthur Trimble visited Loch Watten

In the Scottish highlands, a storm's brewing,
lightning flashes lighting up the night sky.
And a liquid moon pools above the clouds,
on a sultry summer's eve in July.

Lock Ness shimmers like a silver shilling
its surface rippling ever...
