Poems

in the in between

30JUL25

begin to soar

ink is wet
page is dry
the words get
ready to fly

spread their wings
begin to soar
thoughts they bring
to open doors

able to win
in the face of defeat
it can happen in
a single heartbeat

over the land
like a holy hymn
nothing can stand
before them

something unseen
can still glow
in the in between
bigfoot knows

I am still in the holler. I plan to depart tomorrow. I still have a few things to do for my brother’s hilltop hayfield video. Hopefully you will be able to see it on the blog in the next week or so. I hope that you enjoy your Wednesday!

Poems

terror in the woods

21JUL25

the last time

have some terror
maybe you should
go make an error
in his woods

want to make haste
bigfoot will raise the bar
as you get chased
back to your car

iPhone or android
wings will be grounded
as you try to avoid
getting pounded

keep your heart rate
under a watchful eye
no one can elevate
it like the big guy

away you flee
your life saved
maybe next time you'll be
a little better behaved

as bigfoot hides
and inspires rhymes
some people decide
it's the last time

the big guy's control
is still strong
that may have been his goal
all along

This will be a short post. So far the plan is for my brother to start mowing hay on Tuesday morning. So I am headed that way so I can have the photo bird in the sky above him as he starts circling the field on top of the hill with 2 of his tractors. Hopefully it will make for a fun and interesting video. In a few weeks you can be the judge.

I hope you start your week with a smile and the expectation that you will have fun thru it all.

Poems

the road awaits

08JUL25

my way is the freeway

been here for a while
it has been great
but the interstate miles
for me they wait

to go back
not that far
time to pack
load the car

got the bird
in the air
now the words
I write & prepare

as the wind blows
beneath the moon
the big guy knows
I'll be back soon

Actually I may be returning tomorrow. Got the bird in the air and shot a lot of drone footage yesterday. But after sitting down and looking at it I have decided to shoot more today. Like I have said before this whole thing is a learning process. So I am out the door to try and catch some good light. The tricky part will be trying to match the time of day and lighting to what I shot yesterday. Wish me luck.

Be like us. We all smile a lot in the holler!
