Nessie
O yon Loch Ness Monster
is come out of the lake
through all the wide border
his tail left a wake
and save his fire-breathing
he weapons had none
he swam all unharmed
and fair maidens he won
so faithful in love
yet so very messy
there never was wee beastie
like the young dragon Nessie

Loch Ba
With clouds dispersing above Loch Ba,
to where would we go? And just how far?
We followed the track for more than two hours
listening to birds enjoying the flowers:
meadow pippit, willow warbler
curlew, lapwing and skylarks,
bog asphodel and milkwort,
ragged robin and lousewort,
plenty of pignut and wild thyme.
The remembrance has more value
than contriving a rhyme!
Around us the

At Loch Ness
Staring hard
she believed
it was there.
But no luck
as she prayed
for a glimpse.
As she sighed
it crept up.
Her surprise...

Banks of Loch Lomond
I long to traipse across lavender heathered hills
and look across the North Sea as a winter wind chills.
Again, to dwell in a cottage, nestled in a green glen
or traverse Scotland's burns, I yearn. Do ya ken?
Years ago I sat upon Loch Lomond's misty banks
and to the beautiful Highlands I offered my thanks
for rugged terrain, lowlands

as if it were the Loch Ness
But Joy is over with the find
Its search continues, a state of mind

Hello, I'M Nessie From Loch Ness
Well this is my story from way back
you'll probably have heard about me
there's been quite a few sightings
over the years people wonder what they see
Many books have been written
so many opinions if I'm real or not
for I'm what I am no matter what
despite everything I've never been caught
I've watched it all from down under
in the

Loch Ness Monster
Is the Loch Ness Monster real?
Has anyone ever seen her?
I have never seen her,
Except on ‘The Simpsons’.
My family and I went on a boat trip on Loch Ness,
We never saw the Loch Ness Monster.
Many people have looked for her,
With binoculars and cameras.
When Mr Burns, Homer Simpson, Professor Frink and Groundskeeper Willie
Look for the Loch Ness

Monster Loch Ness
There once was a distressed Monster Loch Ness
Whose office-at-home was really a mess
She'd lost her press clippings
Midst daredevil flippings
Lost her pj's too ~ so couldn't undress

The Strange, Elusive Loch Ness
He was seen in a fog of velvet,
And clothed in mists of satin.
His life the stuff of legends.
A dweller of enchanted waters!
His beginning had not a future,
Yet his past was without end,
Though steeped in the unknown-
Deep in the soul of Loch Ness,
And famed far beyond Scotland!
Witness of the sunrises of old,
Whose travels are so solitaire.
Mysterious,

Nessie Lifted Her Head Today
Nessie lifted her head today for just a second.
I saw it, and thought ‘there she is!’ black skinny neck.
Black face, looked dinosaur-like. I ran flat out toward her.
Was it the “real” Nessie?
She dove down hard, did a disappearing act.
I lifted my green wading pool, looking underneath.
Thinking there was going to be a deep cavern,
But

Loch Ness
The lightning strikes and all is dark,
the Lock Ness Monster is about to embark
on a journey along the ocean’s shore,
more diligent and courageous than before.
She is strength and beauty combined,
a delicate creature, so hard to find.
Her head crept above the water quiet yet stark.
She strolled through the mounts with might,

Loch Ness
The essence of the majestic beast,
heading gracefully towards northeast.
Array of sounds,
howling in the presence of the wolf moon.
As Lock Ness keeps moving through the deep Lagoon.
Intense lightning strikes the backside of the mountain.
It keeps moving on with confidence,
knowing Lock Ness is not in distress,
going to an unknown place,
moving at its own pace.
With the dark water

Loch Ness They Call You
how lonely it must be
furtive and stealth
slithering undercover

LOCH NESS
Nestled in rugged lap of Scottish highlands
A sprawling lake, the Loch Ness, swerves
In blue hills of old metamorphic rock bands
Lost glacier melt of the ice age it preserves.
The times of huge dinosaurs have long gone
There’s a rustic belief of mixed pride and awe
Vestige of extinct reptile species survives alone
They fondly call Nessie, its
