Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Nessie

Clouds no longer shroud the moon
 Where mountains rise from west and east
 And moonlight's silvery glow is strewn
 Casting light upon the beast

 In Luna's glow the monster basks
 Its neck protruding from the water
 It's rarely seen by those you ask
A legend lingering ever after

 In the distance there's a lightning flash
 As the mystery of the night unfolds
 The Loch Ness monster is quite brash
 As it swims about very bold

   But when the moon hides behind clouds 
  Upon the water darkness creeps
 The monster's mystery it then enshrouds
 As it submerges, to the deep
                  -

Alexis Y. December 20, 2017 at 1:05 PM Hi Joseph, This is a good entry for the contest theme. The imagery and content is on point as well. I could just picture a beast about to emerge out of the water. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

Patricia Cresswell December 16, 2017 at 9:42 AM Gave me shivers thinking about him/her just floating there. I love this poem as it hints at personality in Nessie.

Rhoda Tripp December 16, 2017 at 7:35 AM Great write, very descriptive and full of imagery. Good luck in the contest. I'm not sure, but I think you may also write at the bottom the name of the contest and the name of the person hosting the contest.

Heidi Sands December 13, 2017 at 7:53 PM Very well done Joseph! :)

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart December 13, 2017 at 7:50 AM Fantastic penning! A winner in my books :) Good luck to you! xomo Joseph May December 13, 2017 at 1:58 PM Thank you Maureen

Vijay Pandit December 13, 2017 at 6:21 AM You captured it well Joseph--though the monster is not real (our tour guide assured us, it's not real), you brought it to life in your poem..best for a win! Joseph May December 13, 2017 at 6:48 AM Thank you Vijay

Robert Pettit December 13, 2017 at 5:40 AM Nice write about the legendary creature that is supposed to inhabit a lake in Scotland. Many believe it's a fabricated story told to lure more tourists to the area. Joseph May December 13, 2017 at 6:48 AM Thank you Robert

CayCay Godwin December 13, 2017 at 1:21 AM EXCELLENT ... you did it. I'm going to admit that my brain didn't register the title so it wasn't until the 5th line that I realized what you were delivering. I'm finding Ness inspiration .. well, not at all. So impressed am I with where your muse went, your imagery and description give a complete telling in lovely lines, oh, so compelling. You delivered me a Ness 'glimpse' that will linger hence (I get silly after midnight) ... CayCay Joseph May December 13, 2017 at 6:47 AM Thank you for your kind words CayCay...best wishes
