Poems

in minds and hearts

26MAR26

he is known

bigfoot is a river
strong is his pull
he is the quiver
arrows long and full

at his source
are flowing springs
he is the horse
with glowing wings

once he starts
he is long gone
in minds and hearts
he is known

enduring all temps
hot and cold
only in a glimpse
is his story told

Enjoy your Thursday.

Poems

happiness is a choice

23MAR26

attend its dances

each life covers space
hopefully many miles
each life has a face
hopefully with a smile

live it with vision
there is much at stake
it is a decision
we each have to make

happiness is a choice
attend its dances
let it ring in your voice
as you take your chances

your heart and soul pure
and your mind broad
you may get to hear
bigfoot as he applauds

Enjoy your Monday. I hope this will be a great week for you.

Poems

bigfoot humor is food for thought

11AUG25

24 hour diner

we are a diner
our mood is sublime
usually a 16 liner
of a goofy rhyme

have your mind freed
help you know a tree
get you to read
some goofy poetry

we'll improve your mood
it is the truth
but instead of food
we're offering goof

it's not really exciting
and we know it
to read the writings
of a mediocre poet

we are like a book
with a goofy style
just here to crook
your lips into a smile

you will be wise
have most of the information
as we keep you apprised
of the bigfoot situation

A few people have told me that either they or someone that they know is having a difficult time finding the drone flyover videos in the blog. So we will take a little time to go over navigating the menu in the blog.

If you are on a desktop or laptop there will be 3 main headings at the top of the page. Those 3 headings are Home, Drop Down Menu and Blog Posts. If you click on the arrow beside the Drop Down Menu a menu will drop down. The Drone Flyover Videos section will be at the bottom of the listing. Click on that and it will give you a listing of the videos. There are only 4 videos. There may be 5 by the end of the day. Just click on the video that you want to watch and it will take you to the video on you tube.

If you are on a mobile device there should be 3 slashes to the right of the word ASTRA. Tap those three slashes and it will give you a vertical listing of the same 3 headings. Tap the arrow beside Drop Down Menu and it will give you a listing of topics. They should be Manifesto, Hawaii, Music (non Hawaiian), Bigfoot and Drone Flyover Videos. Tap Drone Flyover Videos and you will be able to tap which ever video you intend to view.

I do not use a tablet. But I have viewed the blog on other people’s iPads and if I remember correctly the tablet layout is more similar to the mobile device than to the desktop/laptop configuration.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post there is a new sunrise video that I uploaded on you tube on Saturday.

The blog is only a few months old. We just did out 100th post last week. And the drone operation or our Aviation Wing as I am tempted to call it when the poet takes over is even newer. We really haven’t flown that many missions yet. As time goes on we should get better at doing this.

But make no mistake. We have no intention of losing any of the GOOF!

the Great Speckled Bird

29JUL25

goofy is not a sin

have you heard
big footers get heckled
like the great bird
that is speckled

people can't resist
not everyone agrees
about what exists
out in the trees

bigfoot t-shirt wear it
goofy is not a sin
the abuse bear it
with a big old grin

and as you go
about your tasks daily
listen to some dobro
and some ukulele

I am still in the holler. I am editing the drone footage that we shot over 4 days last week in the holler hilltop hayfield. I want to arrange the video clips on the timeline so my brother can look at them and see if he likes them before I leave here. I should be able to get that done today or tomorrow.

If this blog majors in bigfoot it will probably pick up a minor in the ukulele. We kicked that off a few posts ago with Roy Sakuma. That post & video is under the Hawaii section in the drop down menu. I also like any type of guitar that uses some type of slide situation. There will be many posts in the future that feature people sliding across different types of guitars. The dobro is a wonderful instrument with all of the different types of resonator cones. I am writing this post in a holler in the mountains. And that is a culture and place that the dobro is very closely associated with. The fact that the young man playing it enrolled at East Tennessee State University is just icing on the cake. I did not attend there but a lot of my friends, family, educators and just a lot of people that I know did.

I hope that bigfoot, the dobro and the ukulele make you smile. That is kind of their thing. If this blog has a goal it would probably be to make that our thing as well.
