Nessie
A Sonnet about the Loch Ness Monster Inspired By A Painting By Kirsten Hel

Introduction
I have just returned from an excellent weekend in Inverness, which included a trip out on the Loch.
Our wonderful hostess, Susan, showed us this wonderful painting of "Nessie" by Kirsten Hel, a local artist, saying that although people search for "Nessie" every day, "Nessie" knows how to keep out of sight and keep the mystery, and this painting is the embodiment of the story.
These are Kirsten's Facebook and Etsy sites:
The music is "Water Beastie" by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band from "Rock Drill"
