The water horse

The great mystery heaved it's body of 5 tonnes
It's mate wallowing at the lake's floor
slowly dying in the thick mud.

The great beast mother moving
through the depths of the lake
chasing salmon and trout
and settling below the outlet

Nestling into the submerged craggy wall of rock
opening out into the stubby origin of the outward flowing river
As schools of fish entered the lake against the current
The beast would jut it's neck up and get a mouthful

Just a few meters below it's two offspring waited
necks up begging for a piece of the what fell out
of the beasts razor sharp tooth filled mouth

the beast a shadow haunting the neglected depths
known only through legend
Unknown and almost never seen
