Notes About The Poem

A Legend In Our Time

A legend in our time,
Nessie lives in Loch Ness. 
And while monster to some,
he is loved by the press.

Moonbeams gilded the waves,
like golden filagree.		
And it’s beauty was such,
that he just had to see.

His head broke the surface,
leery of stray yachters.
And small ripples stirred,
in the placid waters.

Snout out of the water,
he soon started to choke.
And exhaled puffs of mist,
like he was belching smoke.

But it was well worth it,
to see the moon and stars.			
And glimpse other planets,
like Jupiter and Mars.			

His eyes aren’t use to light,
his world is inky black.
And after surfacing,
he now dreads going back.
