that we all bear

bigfoot at the creek
his mission to wade
even as he mind speaks
 decisions are made

the trees are masts
under them he sails
mystically he casts
slumbering spells

we're all on a trip
to the River Jordan
careful the ship
that you be boardin'

we leave a mark
each soul writes
leave the dark
seek the light

the waves roll
to distant shores
make sure your soul
lifts & soars

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

Poems

bigfoot & David Lynch

Poems

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.

bigfoot stealth

Poems

funds his wealth

bigfoot can slip
with no sound go
he is hip
to the down low

faster than your brain
until he mind speaks
master of his domain
for all you Seinfeld geeks

an athletic sage
new fences he hurdles 
faster than a Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtle

out in the trees
acts, runs & goes nude
is he really free
exactamundo dude

impossible to find
bigfoot stealth
his peace of mind
is his wealth

Poems

bigfoot reads

a lot of books

food bigfoot gathers
the ground unbroken
his conversation he'd rather
the sounds be unspoken

don't have to be near it
or in the tree line
to be able to hear it
in your mind

gentle he wades the weeds
he takes a good look
our mental states he reads
like an open book

he becomes well versed 
in how we can deal double
 he comes to see the worst
in man and his trouble

out in the in-between
he inspects our way
he's already seen
all of our x-rays

he remains uncaught
in the cold 
knows we've already been bought
and sold

tumbling dice
he watches us roll
humbling is the price 
for a soul

Enjoy your Monday. Happy Memorial Day! I hope this will be great week for you. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

The Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest will be held in Stanton KY on 30MAY26.

bigfoot dances

on his own terms

bigfoot in the woods
bigfoot in your brain 
maybe some thoughts you should
not entertain

like should you go
what will you find
when you already know
he's in your mind

no need to loose the hounds
through the woods streaking
you've already been found
listen to the mind speaking

to dance this dance
know that to begin 
that you only advance
when he lets you in

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

Poems

the owls

Leave a Comment / Poems

08MAR26

are not what they seem

life is hard
life is good
the security guard
of his woods

ignores the hands
on the clock
as he commands
his own block

a hazy sight
paving my rhymes
no daylight
savings time

Twin Peaks
on TV
mind speaks
as he flees

hear his howls
hear his screams
the owls 
are not what they seem

in mysterious ways
totally bizarre
Purple Haze
without a guitar

This is another poem with a nod to David Lynch. “The owls are not what they seem” is a famous line from his TV show Twin Peaks. If you google that sentence you will find a wealth of information. And that information is kind of like the information on bigfoot. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if it makes any kind of sense : )

And we lost an hour over night so that would be on my mind this morning.

I am making progress on aquiring and learning to use all of the equipment that will be needed to get the motorcycle videos up on YouTube. And there is more of a sense of urgency in that as the weather begins to warm up.

Enjoy your Sunday.

waters can be muddy

where big feet wade

waters can be muddy
where big feet wade
our big buddy 
were tracks laid

he has immense speed
as he crosses land
he has no need
for a mojo hand

his appearance always fleeting
the subjects constantly trips me
there will be no meeting 
with a gypsy

loved and feared 
pretty much unknown
he is plenty weird
all on his own

This morning we add another entry into the Music (non Hawaiian) section of the Drop Down Menu. I am linking a performance of “Got My Mojo Workin’ “ by Muddy Waters. I looked at several versions of this song on you tube and this one seems to be the slickest and most dynamic version. As you watch the video you can probably sense the influence that he had on the blues and on rock ‘n’ roll music. His band is just something else.

The poem is a little out there. But if you have been reading the blog for long you are probably not surprised. I was trying to tie bigfoot in with Muddy Waters and the lyrics to the song.

If bigfoot really does exist I am pretty sure that he is probably not “down” with being every where that I try to put him in the poems. Who knows? Maybe one of these days I will get a talking to. If you have been reading the blog for long you already know it will probably be in mind speak : )

Enjoy the video & your Wednesday!
