Notes About The Poem

Premiere Contest WinnerLoch Ness - Constanza


Oh, Loch Ness monster, there you are,
from depths below to surface came...
and Nessie you are called by name.

'Neath eerie moon that glows afar
and thunder clouds with battle cries
that summon lightning to the skies,

you raise your head, just like a star
in monster films, yet you seem real,
and slink with prehistoric zeal.

You come and go...it's so bizarre;
a myth, non-fiction, no one knows,
so short-lived are your sudden shows.

What world below has met your bar,
within the Loch Ness mystery,
that grants you space in history?

Oh, Loch Ness monster, there you are.
Neath eerie moon that glows afar,
you raise your head, just like a star.
You come and go...it's so bizarre.
What world below has met your bar?
