Good entry into the ABC's contest. The graphic fits well with the test. I like that you made the first letter bold and the font a larger size. If I had any suggestion, it would be to center the text under the graphic, so the poem is not heavy to one side. Good job and good luck!

Thank you so much Sandra for the stars, review, and suggestion. I had to go into the advanced editor to find the bold and font size, but could not find a centering application there and was afraid I would lose those two things if I tried to go back to the general editor section. Perhaps I will figure this problem out in the future. Thanks again.

On the advanced editor you will see three rows of horizontal lines. Click on those to move your writing to the left, right or center. You are welcome,
Comment from C.A.Currie
Very nicely done!
Quite the vision when she's seen
Regal in her stature
Sightings few and far between
Timid in her nature
Unbelieved by many who have seen
Various poses photographed
Water her timeless domicile
XRay plates could not expose
Your friendly serpent's smile
I Couldn't resist - Nessie filled so many of my childhood dreams and nightmares, and now I almost find her friendly!
Thanks so much for reminding me of my childhood!
Hugs, Sunshine and Unicorns from my heart to yours

Whoa! Did my poem inspire you to write a poem? That's a first. Well, I enjoyed yours too.
Thank you so much for the review, all the stars, and the comments--and the poem. Whoa again.

Is it just me or is that appearance of Nessie slightly unsettling. I'm genuinely frightened (haha). I love it. Well done. Best of luck to you and all the best. Have the best day ever. Much love. And thanks for sharing.

Jonathan, have no fear; it has never been reported that Nessie has harmed anyone. LOL, you are safe.
Thank you for your review and all the stars. And a special thank you for wishing me the best day ever.
Comment from LisaMay
I've been to Loch Ness but the monster was elusive. You say perfect vision is required to see her but I think most sightings are due to the combination of poor vision and imagination, haha.
Your poem is quirky and fun, although I query the use of 'milling about' as the verb implies a group, not a single creature. Perhaps 'Meandering' is a better fit, while keeping the 'M'.

How lucky you are to have been to Loch Ness. Yes, the sighting may have been due to poor vision, imagination, and maybe being tipsy. Thanks for all the stars and the comment.

It is a very attractive spot, plus the mystery makes it appealing too.
Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent entry for the ABC Poetry Contest. I love myth stories, Loch Ness is an interesting one.
Good poem with a great presentation and imagery. It flows well with descriptive words that paint a clear poetic vision..
Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for the many stars, well-wishes, and the detailed review. Yes, Loch Ness and Big Foot are fun topics. Thanks again.
Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
Oh, I like this- so cleverly written and illustrated. This abc poem is not nearly so easy to write as it look like it would be, but you did it successfully. Good luck in the contest!

Thank you, Verna. This was my first attempt at an ABC poem, and you are right, it can be a little challenging--but this one was fun. Thank you for your well-wishes, too.
Comment from mermaids
Love it! Love it! Just love your words about Nessie. I have a few poems about pleisosaurs in my portfolio. I named one of my guinea pigs Nessie. Excellent ABC form and use of words to capture a feel of fantasy. I like the line "only a privileged few can see you". It seems to be true.

Mermaids, thank you so much for reviewing and so generously rewarding my poem. I am honored.
I may need to check out your portfolio and those works of yours on plesiosaurs. Say hi! to all your guinea pigs for me--especially to Nessie.
Comment from NANCY V. FORREST
Nicely worked description of Nessi in a well formed well thought out piece that captures the essence of the legend. The illustration is a really great addition.

Thanks for your review and all the stars. I was delighted to find that piece of artwork. I wasn't sure if Nessie had inspired any artists.

I don't often read poetry, or know the first thing about it. But it's always nice when I can find the time to take a couple hours and review what poets come up with. Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you found a couple of hours to check out some poetry. I hope you weren't too disappointed. I hope to start moving into short stories. So, now I'm reading more of that. Best wishes.

I enjoyed it! Let me know when you start posting stories, so I don't miss your first. I don't post often, but I have one up right now that's paying well if you're interested in padding your bankroll. Take care!

A nice tribute to the Loch Ness Monster. A creature that has always fascinated me. I like the perfect vision required line at the end, cheeky. Thanks for sharing.
