Woodbooger Festival 2026 Memories

29SEP26

linger & roll

there is a scroll
the message is gold
in your soul
to be unrolled

it is a recipe
to make your own
those in the teepees
have long known

out in the trees
away from the money
the birds & the bees
making their honey

try the sugar
& the spice
why the Woodbooger
was so nice

You really should try to attend the Woodbooger Festival in Norton VA in late September 2027.

Enjoy your Tuesday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Poems

even bigfoot falls

27SEP26

under Norton’s spell

is bigfoot stuff silly
it sounds like a riddle
land rough & hilly
a town in the middle

like hunting snipe
with no zip code
a giant pipe
over the road

it's bigfoot style
a real good hider
everybody's smiles
that much wider

like sittin' in a swing
a smilin' & a courtin'
there's just something
special about Norton

the bigfoot calls
to close to tell
even bigfoot falls
under Norton's spell

I went to the Woodbooger Festival in Norton yesterday. It was my second year in a row. I had a wonderful time just like I did last year. You really should check it out. They block off a huge portion of downtown. It is really nice to just walk around and explore that part of town with no traffic.

Norton is a beautiful and charming town. And I’m pretty sure that the drive in is just as beautiful from any direction. So even if you have no interest in bigfoot you should go. They have a huge expo center filled with vendors. So you can shop or spend some time in the shade if you want. They have lots of buildings with bathrooms with no lines. I couldn’t imagine a more pleasant environment. Be there next year : )

Enjoy your Sunday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Poems

are our screens

19SEP26

the in between

a reasonable explanation 
we have none
about his situation
does he have fun

mountains he climbs
as they both age
both inspiring the rhymes
on this page

& the in between
bigfoot never shows it
is it this screen
& we don't know it

difficult to explain
unless it's pure fiction
time to break the chains
of our screen addiction

the wind blows
listen & hear
a screen can show
a screen can obscure

Enjoy your Saturday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

We put up our first motorcycle short video yesterday. We will do a few of these and then start doing YouTube shorts that combine GoPro cameras with drone footage and music. That is the plan anyways. We’ll see how it all plays out : )

Here Is the LINK.

Poems

bigfoot & ZZ Top

12AUG26

Bad & Nationwide

bigfoot has no horses
stored & shut in the barn
but their forces
are more than just a yarn

with no saddles
they still ride
not just around Seattle
but nationwide

they're on a mission
they do not reveal
there is no beautician
at the wheel

like a blues groove
mean, romantic & terrific
they all move
between the Atlantic & Pacific

Enjoy your Wednesday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

This poem loosely references the ZZ Top song “I’m Bad I’m Nationwide.” You can google it and give it a listen if you are unfamiliar with them. Be prepared for long beards and lots of blues : )

Poems

get to know

11AUG26

your own soul

a bell tolls
behind a door
it is your soul
time to explore

close your eyes
no more blinking
time to fly
without thinking

all is new
near & far
find just who
you really are

need no excuse
to begin
to get used
to your own skin

make a pact
to smile as you go
you'll see bigfoot tracks
left a while ago

Enjoy your Tuesday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Poems

bigfoot rocks

10AUG26

outside of the box

if you stumble
if you fall
a good rumble
will fix it all

do what you like
do not stop
get your motorbike
to the shop

be passin' cars
once it's in tune
like shootin' stars
over the moon

to inches cubic
apply the lube
bigfoot is Rubik
outside the Cube

think outside the box
it's time for fun
all of the locks
he has undone

Enjoy your Monday. I hope it is a great week for us all. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Poems

bigfoot & Trump

09AUG26

on different paths

a new arch
in D.C.
or march
with the free

one puts his name
on every thing
one flees fame
with swift wings

one leaves tracks
& can cloak
one eats Big Macs
& drinks Cokes

one took an oath
each need explaining
but they are both
highly entertaining

Enjoy your Sunday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Poems

bigfoot clues

08AUG26

to the destination

the Kingdom come
the bell tolls
into or from
your own soul

avoids all traps
the big & hairy
sacred is the map
private the itinerary

the oil seeps
from a giant ship
in our sleep
the truth slips

bigfoot is a clue
wrapped in fascination
pointing to a new
map & destination

Enjoy your Saturday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

I recently visited one of my elementary school teachers. We had a conversation about the USS Arizona. We discussed the oil that leaks out of the ship. I later googled it and found out that about 2 – 9 quarts leak out per day. They call it “black tears.” I lived in a high rise in Aiea years ago overlooking Pearl Harbor and the monument was always there every time I looked out from my lanai (porch in Hawaii). Like the heroes on it, it is buried deep in my subconscious. I am sure it will surface again in the blog.

Poems

the bigfoot curtain

07AUG26

is it lifting

a strange scene
a big bird
in the in between
bigfoot a bit blurred

a rhyme penning
a tall tale
is time thinning
all the veil

is the curtain
being lifted
nothing's for certain
with the cryptids

even away from the trees
all is dim
will we be able to see
all of them

off the shelf
no longer to taunt you
ask yourself
do you really want to

Enjoy your Friday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Poems

bigfoot follows

06AUG26

Howard Hughes’s example

bigfoot reserves
refuses to reveal
he must have nerves
just like steel

the ultimate muse
trends toward distractive
knows being a recluse
ends in him being more attractive

always in the news
the bushes he tramples
he uses Howard Hughes
follows his example

he does not dress
too much of a chore
he knows that less
is really more
