Poems

give them grief

19FEB26

then you be the judge

the majestic stallion
rears in its fury
the bigfoot research battalion
refuses the jury

in their belief
they do not budge
give them grief
then you be the judge

tracks in the mud
almost always informal
flesh and blood
or paranormal

crazy clues
could they be true
guess it depends on who
you're talking to

the blowing winds
through the stallion's mane
even their friends
think that they're insane

Part of the inspiration for today’s poem comes from some books that I read as a young boy growing up. The Golden Stallion was a series of books written by Rutherford George Montgomery. I think the first one was published in 1962. I read a lot of books and constantly looked at a set of World Books that our mom bought for us. That along with the 2 channels that we got with our roof top antenna and the Newsweek magazine that she subscribed to were our windows to the world.

And I have already mentioned in a previous blog post that my uncle Bob drove me to a movie theatre in St. Paul VA where we watched the Patterson-Gimlin film on the big screen. Uncle Bob was a character. I hope that every young kid will be lucky enough to have a crazy uncle.

Enjoy your Thursday.

bigfoot with video

if I had to guess

11DEC25

bigfoot probably knows

some are gone
never to return
better not to go alone
Paulides has learned

from witnesses' lips
filled with fear
said they saw spaceships
lifting up deer

a growing number
it's definitely weird
out in the heavy lumber
they have disappeared

it's a big mess
as the mystery grows
if I had to guess
bigfoot probably knows

the spaceships flying
until the mystery is solved
I'm in no way implying
that bigfoot is involved

A Flash of Beauty You Tube Channel just dropped a new video with Davide Paulides a couple of days ago. He is a former police detective that has written several books on bigfoot and people going missing in our National Parks. I have read 2 of his books. They are The Hoopa Project & Tribal Bigfoot. These 2 books are from him spending time on Indian reservations and interviewing people and collecting their stories and eyewitness accounts. One of the things you will hear over and over again when you first start looking into bigfoot is that the Native Americans know more about bigfoot than most of the rest of us. You hear statements all the time along the lines of “anytime they tell you anything about bigfoot listen very carefully.”

In this video Mr. Paulides does a very good job of talking about the 2 sides of the fence in the bigfoot world. One side believes that bigfoot is simply a wild animal hiding out in the woods and the other side leans more into the paranormal. The group in the paranormal side believe that bigfoot is capable of a lot of stuff that is pretty much unbelievable. He also does a good job of describing how that most people start off in the 1st group often referred to as the Flesh & Blood Hypothesis group and then end up migrating into the 2nd group who are often referred to as the Paranormal or Woo group.

I am providing a link for the video below. If you enjoy this video there are 25 more in the Drop Down Menu. They are in the Bigfoot Videos Section. There are also videos on other topics in other sections.

I enjoy watching Mr. Paulides bring his facts based investigative skills to the world of bigfoot and try to make sense out of something that almost always defies any type of logic or analysis.

As you read more stories and watch more videos about bigfoot you will hear stories that will make you think “I’ve heard that before.” At 21:46 in the above video Mr. Paulides tells a story about a bigfoot stopping and looking a great distance at someone hidden. This story reminded me of a similar story that Don Neal had told. I am providing a link to that blog post below. If you don’t want to read the poem or blog post go straight to the bottom of the page and click on to the very short video(3:30). Don Neal is a pretty good story teller : )

And the campfire adds a neat vibe.
