Listen to poem:

Is Nessie a Monster?

I'm big for sure!
I'm scary for some!
My mum loves me,
cuddly, as I am....

A head emerges from the loch,
the creature nears the shore,
he hopes to take a photograph -
alas, he's seen no more......

Five fingers,
ten toes,
two eyes, 
one nose,
one tongue,
and two teeth 
What have I just described?
The Loch Ness Monster (aka loch nessie)...

searching for her mate
a lone beast questions the moon…
replied in a flash
go nessie to your own time
where the world believes in you

The old Scotsman burred loud on the dock:
" Bring along more than tackle and block!
  For if yah cast out yer net,
  yah might live to regret
  bringing ole Nessie up out of the Loch!"...

I saw the huge beast from the dock.
The scene evoked bowel loosening shock.
Run and hide, Nessie!
It's about to get messy.
Rosie O'Donnell* is swimming in the Loch.

I'd like to boast
I saw a ghost,
a UFO
and Big Foot's toe.

I'd like to say
that yesterday
I called her name
and Nessie came.

early morning’s moon

hovers high above Loch Ness

in a clouded sky. . . 

caught in its light is a sight

too swan-like for a monster

In the Land O' Scots nigh auld Iverness,

   Cavorts a lass named Nessie in Loch Ness!

      Is this sly dragon fer real,

         Er jes' an overgrown eel?

            We'll never know fer sure is my guess!

Gliding, as placid as a sailboat.
Harming, no one.

Mooning, the business of night.
Glaring, the sight of something awesome —
a barely visible silhouette, shimmering.

Doppelgänger-eyes like moons, in the dark,
could spoil the habitation of Loch Ness.

Nessie nestles into her nebulous surroundings.

at the edge of Boreal Forest sits a cabin we built ourselves in 1986
the deck became enormous because my man always gets carried away
Big John does everything in excess, going overboard on every project
We relax here a few times a year in the summer, enjoying the lake
Some say they have seen Sasquatch but we never have
I looked for Nessie for a while, but discovered she is in the Great Lakes...

Close your eyes and see a loch, the spot I  go: 
icy waters swirl beneath my wooden boat,
tall surrounding hills are blanketed in snow,
lashed by hail, I button up my winter coat,
Nessie glides and fishes in her world below.
Will she choose today to surface, maybe float?
If she's friend or foe, I long to see her face!
Visits only in my head, I love this place...

Big Fish

With my rod and reel I baited my hook 

Waded into the water and part took

Cast my line, got a bite

Found myself in a fight 

Nessie had taken my hook for a look

Where are you
My voice echoes in the clouds of the  the loch 
The soft shimmering milieu making an illusory hue
In  glimmering air a snout something weird and eerie

Was it Nessie
Shining dimly

Someone pelted a stone
Would it jump out and topple on the shore
No, nothing of the sort happened disappointing us
We kept looking at the shining shadows forming a surreal caucus
