bigfoot & the Bible

26JUL26

does he follow it

goes the Word 
over the pews
has bigfoot heard
the Good News

the Jordan crossed
the scales weighed
all of the costs
they've been paid

what Heaven sends
wrapped in grace
in the winds
on his face

may be tribal
a lot of people say
does the Bible
lead their way

Poems

the bigfoot brew

24JUL26

will broaden your mind

let it pour
let it drip
you need more
take a sip

to be clever
is good stuff
you can never
get enough

try to prepare
as you go
learn to be aware
learn to know

one day you'll see
but not understand
one of the trees
against his hand

the big reveal
him there hidin'
as you feel
your mind widen

there are no maps
strange tune to pick
or that perhaps
you're a deranged lunatic

as this rhyme
sets sail
only time
will tell

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

Poems

bigfoot & David Lynch

23JUL26

are both strong paddlers

both full of woo
out of Seattle
it's a big canoe
they both paddle

it's a strange brew
they both stir
everything they do
it's in a blur

both have Peeks
depends how you spell it
when their minds speak
they both yell it

they're off the bench
& in the game
bigfoot & David Lynch
they're the same

hold their towels
watch their dreams
know the owls
are not what they seem

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

Today we return to the theme of David Lynch and the real estate that he seems to share with bigfoot. The woo refers to paranormal in the world of bigfoot. If you have watched any of Lynch’s creations you already know that his story lines are usually drenched in the paranormal and unexplainable. The Peeks is a reference to his TV show Twin Peaks. And in case you’re wondering bigfoot’s peeks are from behind a tree : ). And the “owls are not what they seem” is a famous line from that show. There is quite a bit of information on the internet about just that one phrase.

The spirit of Lynch has sailed with us from the time we launched. His 1986 movie Blue Velvet is mentioned in the blog’s manifesto. For those of you who prefer a more normal movie, check out Straight Story. It is a straightforward story that stars Richard Farnsworh who earned an Academy Award nomination for his work in the film.

Poems

bigfoot bingo

22JUL26

play w/o a card

the bigfoot lingo
it's kind of hard
like playing bingo
without a card

sees the trees falling
in the name of lumber
but he's still calling
out the numbers

go ahead & gamble
get your fill
he'll just amble
over the hill

not a cure
for the sinners
just not sure
there are any winners

Poems

the bigfoot blur

21JUL26

is not a c(rhyme)

a poet is a witch
swims in the beyond
the words they stitch
the pen the wand

words & thoughts
together they stir
like bigfoot caught
in the blur

sails on the mast
full of wind
spells they cast
pull & send

Poe's The Raven
black as coal
maybe he's savin'
his own soul

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

Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” is so influential that it had a professional football team named after it. I was wondering as I read this morning’s poem if all of the press on whether or not Lamar Jackson will have a good season or not had somehow influenced me. That along with whether or not John Harbaugh will succeed with the Giants have dominated the airwaves recently. But really don’t you think that bigfoot poetry is importanter than all of this : )

Poems

bigfoot avoids

20JUL26

our distractions

all kinds of nooses
they are strong strings
small the mind that chooses
the wrong things

the bell tolls
the whole day
well the soul
that knows the way

bigfoot has long known
& been able to avoid
the iPhone
& the Android

if you want to fly
in the meantime
try to keep an eye
on your screen time

Enjoy your Monday. I hope it will be a great week for you. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Poems

is bigfoot beautiful

19JUL26

if you can’t see him

the winds of beauty
where do they wind out & go
is it our duty
to find out & know

is beauty a concept
for the blessed
something to to be kept
close to our chest

is it the edge
the way of the knife
or a pledge
to a way of life

a force that runs all
& plays with power
or is it Rapunzel
hidden away in a tower

the horse never ridden
that is ever free
or the forever hidden
clever in the trees

Poems

bigfoot walks

18JUL26

with inspiration

it is spiritual
it is mental
it is lyrical
almost accidental

as it arrives
on an angel's harp
keeping your knives
keeping them sharp

the lone shot
of inspiration
that cares not
about any expectation

from the mist
sound it makes
boundaries that exist
it is bound to break

a piece of chalk
on a board
bigfoot & it walk
in one accord

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

Part of the inspiration for this poem comes from my former school teachers. I have visited some of them in the last few days. One I hadn’t seen in about 40 years. It was the most wonderful experience. I would highly recommend it to any of you.

The phrase “walk in one accord” is often used to describe the early church in the Book of Acts. It is usually used to describe how they pulled together for one purpose.

Poems

honest bigfoot

17JUL26

ode to the top hat

a leaf turns in the wind
it blows thru
it earns its friends
it knows you

beneath a big sky
Heaven has painted
it & the big guy
are also acquainted

high it rides
to see its trail
thru both sides
of the veil

hushes its lips
as on it rolls
luscious are the trips
of an honest soul

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

The title of the post and poem are kind of a word play on Abraham Lincoln. I was originally going to go with “honest bigfoot – needs no axe” but then I thought that “ode to the top hat” sounds a lot like “stovetop hat.” So “hats off” to Honest Abe & bigfoot two legendary tall woodsmen.

Poems

bigfoot matches

16JUL26

his goals & desires

swing the gavel
by Heaven you're sent
here to unravel
your heart's content

spread your wings
got a ton to do
nothing means anything
if it's not fun to you

know your desires
examine your load
before your tires
hit the road

open the door
undo the latch
in order to soar
they have to match

before you complete
your assignment
get those big feet
into alignment

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