Poems

you’ll plow long rows

20SEP25

never reaching the end

don't do the math
you will never start
this is not the path
for the faint of heart

time to suffer
ignorance and ridicule
bigfoot will leave you tougher
than a plowing mule

learning will be slow
about your big friend
you'll plow long rows
never reaching the end

but you'll keep sasquatching
with your mind free
knowing that he is watching
from behind some trees

the pages you'll turn
bigfoot books stored on the shelf
what you will learn
will be more about yourself

now you'll be alert
to know the unseen
as you plow the dirt
of the rows in between

Enjoy your Saturday & your weekend. Smile – like a lot!

Poems

lightning striking

18SEP25

around the tree

lightning striking
around the tree
we're all hiking
to what will be

don't have to guess
the price to pay
our time is less
every single day

be quick to see
and avoid the rot
time looks free
but it is not

we each get a set amount
before we fly away
so make your time count
every single day

find the groove
that moves your soul
learn to move
like the bigfoot roll

Enjoy your Thursday!

Poems

on the darkest night

17SEP25

on land and sea

like the birds
eloquently it sings
I have heard
wisdom has wings

shines a light
hands a key
on the darkest night
on land and sea

it is to be sought
it will reward the work
for it to be taught
well that's a perk

the way of the wise
learning and knowing
helping others recognize
and keep on growing

help the mind small
get big as can be
like the one tall
there behind the tree

Enjoy your Wednesday. Smile as your dip your toe and swim in the river of wisdom today.

Poems

he is the rabbit

16SEP25

in the top hat

bigfoot is subject matter
for the soul
he is the mad hatter
down the rabbit hole

can become a habit
he's good at that
he is the rabbit
in the top hat

he is the present
you'll not open soon
he is the crescent
in the moon

you will study
that cat almost daily
he is your buddy
with a top hat & a ukulele

there will be no tuxedo
or that type of costume
bigfoot will need no
outfit to wow the room

I am in the middle of trying to put the photos from the Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest 2025 into a you tube slide show. It will probably end up being 2 or 3 videos. A lot of the pics of the people wearing all of the different bigfoot shirts are kind of fun to look at. There are a lot of smiles. Bigfoot can usually be counted on for that. I would like to get that done before I take even more pics at the Woodbooger Festival in Norton.

Once I figure out a way to share the experience better on the blog I will probably start attending more of the bigfoot conferences and festivals across the country. We will embark on a journey together thru the world of bigfoot in pop culture. It sounds like a lot of fun. Time will tell : )

I hope you have great Tuesday!

Poems

do not assume your values

15SEP25

are the same

bigfoot is as humble as can be
scripture's power in his hold
he is the bumble bee
as the flower unfolds

he may scare
at first sight
but his only care
is to do right

he will allow you
to leave as you came
do not assume your values
are the same

makes quite an impression
once you've known him
has no possessions
to own him

I hope your week gets off to a great start! Sometimes Mondays can be a challenge. I hope this time yours goes well!

Poems

there is no vacation

14SEP25

with this muse

sometimes bigfoot steps
leave tracks behind
the faith is kept
an axe to grind

having no clues
that's the rub
they are the dues
for the bigfoot club

kind of funny
a club with rank
is there money
in the bank

behind a tree
bigfoot is all kind
he can see
if the check is signed

like a lightning strike
no time to wait
kind of like
an offering plate

there is no vacation
with this muse
he'll put your imagination
to good use

so get set
to do it again
can I get
an amen

don't get nervous
about our big friends
with them the service
it never ends

that's the sasquatch
their style is a trip
the angels watch
a smile on their lips

let your soul sing
every word you utter
was that an angel's wing
that I heard flutter

Enjoy your Sunday. Make someone smile. And yes that someone can be you. It may be the most important thing.

Poems

they already know

13SEP25

too much about us

the answer is no
nothing to discuss
they already know
too much about us

want to be friends
we always insist
and they pretend
not to exist

we probably fail
every type of test
as they set sail
not that impressed

all of the sasquatches
listen to our tune
decide as they watch
not anytime soon

my confidence I keep full
for me it's easy to see
it must be the other people
the problem can't be me

Enjoy your Saturday and weekend. Try to infect someone with your smile today!

Poems

all of the sasquatches

12SEP25

say “not for me”

it is my life
it's passing me by
cuts like a knife
makes my soul cry

it is new fangled
flowing and clean
it is a rectangle
a glowing screen

the case is beveled
to attract you
the work of the devil
is to distract you

not holy not fair
its song is sung
it slowly lets the air
out of our lungs

bigfoot watches
stays behind the tree
all of the sasquatches
say"not for me"

as the screen glows
and imparts information
it seems nobody knows
the art of conversation

There is a new video in the drop down menu. It is in the Drone Flyover Videos section. If you are on a mobile device or tablet you can access the menu by tapping on the 3 slashes in the upper right hand corner. They will take you to the home page, the drop down menu and the blog posts. If you are on laptop or desktop the menu should be across the top of your screen.

In the Drone Flyover Videos section the newest video will be at the bottom of the list. My next few you tube videos will probably be bigfoot festival slide shows. I have enough photos from the Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest 2025 to make 4 or 5 you tube slide shows. And I am planning on taking some photos at the Woodbooger Festival in Norton VA. So they will probably make their way on to slideshows as well.

I have several projects planned to shoot with the drone. A lot of those may be on hold as we wait for the leaves to change in the next few weeks. Once the leaves do change I will probably be filming just about every day to take advantage of the window before the leaves fall from the trees. Some projects I may shoot with the leaves and look at it on the computer screen and then decide it would be a better view of the actual subject without the leaves. I guess that is enough of me meandering on about what may or may not happen : )

That is not really worrying but one of my favorite quotes does talk about worrying and the fact that not every thing happens that we think is going to.

My life has been full of terrible misfortunes, most of which never happened.

I hope that you have a great Friday and weekend! Try to make someone smile.

Poems

does not write

11SEP25

but still a scholar

the bell rings 
the bell tolls
let it sing
in your soul

to have hope
it is good
proclaims the pope
of the woods

moves at night
thru hill and holler
seeks to do right
& not the dollar

wears no white
on his collar
does not write
but still a scholar

we do the math
at that we're a whiz
do we think our path
is better than his

listen to the bell
as it swings
beyond the veil
waits the King

the promised land
full of hope
it is a big hand
that pulls the rope

I should be very close to putting out a new drone flyover video that consists of bush hogging on the same hill that the other 3 videos are on. I should get it onto you tube either today or tomorrow. I will be spending much more time in the holler over the next few months. I will probably put about 10 new videos up on you tube by the end of the year. I am waiting for the leaves to change color on many of the videos. And for some of the videos I am probably waiting for them to fall off of the trees so the drone can film what they hide.

The poem mentions the path that we all choose in our life whether we are aware that we are choosing it or not. So choose your path mindfully and stride forth boldly with a smile on your face.

Poems

the wisp of smoke

10SEP25

holds a clue

like a pea
in a pod
you get to see
a lightning rod

watch it burn
clever is the flame
once you learn
it'll never be the same

you are free
your sight is true
now the tree
is split in two

but can you prove
what you see
as bigfoot moves
to another tree

the wisp of smoke
holds a clue
the joke
is on you

in a way
you've been clowned
it's just another day
on bigfoot's merry go round

I was tempted to use “go head and bay – like a hound” but I thought more people would be more familiar with being clowned than the long loud sounds that you hear when you deal with hounds. It makes me giggle because in a way all the bigfoot studies kind of remind me of a pack of hounds on the trail of something that is impossible to catch. And what makes me giggle even more is all of you who are reading this thinking to yourself “that’s because there is nothing to catch.”

It is good to giggle early in the day or really any time. Enjoy your day. Smile and giggle and make other people do it as well.
