Loch Lomond

Loch Lomond

                                       From the shore,
                                   big ripples excite me
                        and I wonder each time, is this it?

            I stand quite alone,  my eyes scanning the water,
              and I ignore silly comments from passers by;
                         Today, I feel sure I will spot it!

                           The Loch Ness Monster in…
                                       Loch Lomond.*

* a friend once told me she hoped to see the Loch Ness Monster at Loch Lomond, LOL 
- maybe that’s why no one has ever found Nessie!!

For Andrea’s Body of Water contest

Maybe it is waiting for me to visit Scotland. Some of my ancestors came from there. Congratulations, Jack. Proud to be in a tie with you. Love, Joyce

Dear Jack, If we had looked for the Boston Strangler in Los Angeles, we would have had the same results. LOL This is a very funny poem, my friend. I'm sure from the comments below that people are getting the intent! Love you, Carolyn

Faye, I have been working on a collection of poems about "Legends, Mysteries and History." Someone told me of the Moth Man and I believe I googled it to learn it was in the Virginia area. Is that true? The New Jersey Devil has been seen by many credible sources, including elected officials. I hope to write about the Moth Man soon.
