Jack Horne Poet Rispetto

Dreamy Place

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...

for Carolyn's My Place contest

Joyce Johnson February 4, 2019 at 1:55 PM This is lovely and I hope you get to visit there often. Love, Joyce

Carolyn Devonshire February 4, 2019 at 12:06 PM Dear friend, I absolutely love the idea of sitting by Loch Ness and imagining the creature that swims below. Somehow, I knew this was yours and knew you didn't want jewelry :) It was very difficult for me to judge this contest because contestants wrote so many incredibly beautiful poems. It's my hope that all of them will regard their entries as wonderful "stand-alone" poems. Congratulations on your win! Best wishes, Carolyn
