give them grief

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.

Poems

their wisdom save

to teach from

bigfoot is a teacher 
that doesn't teach
he is the bleachers
on the beach

watch the waves
like a beach bum
their wisdom save
to teach from

salt water lifts
your body cleaning 
sometimes our gifts
have two meanings

the water moves 
sent as the wind goes
you cannot prove
intent in innuendo

bigfoot knows
all about the truth
everywhere he goes
he leaves no proof

energy in the wind
it moves thru you
careful what you send
to your guru

I left out one stanza after “he leaves no proof.”

if you mention tracks
that could be a mistake
make sure you relax
when they get called fake

I omitted it out of respect for all the researchers and investigators that have spent a lot of time proving that the dermal ridges in some of the tracks would be impossible to fake. There is actually a thumbnail of Dr. Jeff Meldrum on the front of the S.S. #1 Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest 2025 video in the Bigfoot Festivals & Attractions section of the Drop Down Menu holding a cast of a big foot track.

He also appears in the Bigfoot Videos section of the Drop Down Menu. He is in the Patterson Gimlin Film video.

I met Dr. Meldrum at the Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest 2025. I had watched him in so many bigfoot shows and videos that it was almost like meeting Andy Griffith or something. Dr. Meldrum passed away 09SEP25. He was immediately missed in the bigfoot world.

There is a schedule of 2026 Bigfoot Events in yesterday’s blog post. I plan on putting that in the Menu.

Enjoy your Monday. Hope this is a great week for you.

bigfoot with video

bigfoot in the wind

bigfoot’s prayers

the wind sings
as it blows
about things
we do not know

of its history
the time is long
of its mystery
the rhyme is strong

blows on the hills
& over the knolls
knows how we feel
in our souls

in the in between
calls at the door
it has seen
it all before 

it is freeing
the blind to see
like the being
behind the tree

all of his prayers
it has known
as thru his hairs
it has blown

At the Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest last Saturday I met and briefly spoke with one of the speakers. His name is Jeff Meldrum. I was very impressed that they brought him in to speak. He is a highly respected and known researcher with academic and scientific credentials. Very often people with science and academic credentials are terrified of being associated with anything to do with bigfoot because of the damage that the perception will do to their careers. A lot of what they do depends on securing funding and good luck with that once you become associated with bigfoot.

Probably the most impressive proof that exists about bigfoot is the Patterson-Gimlin film from October 20, 1967. It was shot at Bluff Creek, California. Growing up I had a wonderfully colorful uncle named Bob. Uncle Bob probably is deserving of his own blog. I am sure that the stories and antics from his life time could keep me busy for a long time. And as far as entertaining, I am sure that he could give bigfoot a run for his money. The reason I bring him up is that I remember him loading me up along with his two kids and wife into either a single cab pickup truck or a Ford Torino and taking us to a theatre in St. Paul, Virginia to watch the “Bigfoot Movie.” Everybody should have a colorful uncle. Every kid should be so lucky!

For years there has been a giant debate about whether or not the film is a hoax. And that is the topic of today’s video. It is a short clip but the speakers are giants in the world of bigfoot. Meldrum is the only one that is still living.

The link for the video (4:08 minutes) is below. I hope you have had or have a colorful someone in your life that has left you with memories that make you smile. Or even better maybe you are or could be that for someone else. Enjoy the video.

Here is the link for the video.
