Highs and Lows

The hunter - he stood on the shores of the loch
The monster - she watched as she lurked by a rock
The sighting - he spotted her head as she rose
The teasing - she vanished, except for her nose
The photo - he needed the proof she was there
The posing - she looked at the lens with a glare
The success - he shouted, 'This cannot  be beat!'
The goodbye  - she made up her mind to retreat
The  mishap - his camera fell with a thud
The ending - she swallowed him whole on the mud

written 13th March for Charles' List contest
