Big it Swims

Loch Ness sighting.

Big it swims;
at a glance massive leviathan
bonny loch cause of astonishment,
itself extensively serpentine.
Fabled lake snake,
khaki-like integument
eyes sighting mightily
sensing my presence.
Big it swims;
long ominous flow
appearing near seeming eager,
prehistoric buoyant fortress.
Outré noon loner,
ageless castaway
timeless foe of legend,
deep-dwelling emissary.
Big it swims;
weighty Ness proprietor,
urgent tubular interloper
holdover of ago,
fresh presence in immense
force pouring forth,
avid tantalizer
mesmerizing essence.
Big it swims.
