Luring eyes from mist

News drifts, dispelled seekers sink

Scales unseen to speak

Thank you! So glad I caught the post this morning. - I imagine the hunt for Nessie similar to my experience on a whale watching tour: all day people scream “whale!” at dolphins, then I hit the beach past Devil’s Slide and see a whale tail jumping up from my seat in the sand. For a moment, I was sure whales weren’t real either. I was wrong!

A monster? A dream?

Highland hallucinations

Wrought from tedium?

Loched in time clock

Loman the Roman

Lock-in lassie should be

Assuming there’s a gate

To the sea to seek a mate.

Interesting little snippet! I’ve heard that theory that there might be an underground pathway to the sea from the Loch. Very interesting 🖤

Nessie, dear Nessie...

Are you real or just maybe

An imagined beast?

Rippling waters tease

Shrouds of fog hiding answers

Like this vale of tears

Oh man! I love that it’s not entirely clear if this is Nessie or a Nessie searcher, but could easily go either way. So cool🖤

Nessie is lonely

Just a legend, laid to rest

Keeper of the loch
