that’s how the train

rolls best on the tracks

a railroad trestle
between two hills
the soul is a vessel
waiting to be filled

let your brain 
rest and relax
that's how the train
rolls best on the tracks

open the empty spaces
set your mind free
there are plenty of places
it needs to see

life is full of meaning 
go find the key
it could be leaning
from behind a tree

Last year I attended the Pope Lick Goatman Festival in Louisvile. As I left the festival I saw the rail road trestle. I think that is the trestle where people have claimed to have seen a goatman. There are so many cryptid stories. It is hard to keep just the bigfoot ones straightened out in your mind. And when I think about it is there such a thing as a “straight” bigfoot story? Any way that is probably part of the inspiration for today’s poem.

The other rail road trestle that I see more often is the one at Speers Ferry in Virginia. It is also called the Copper Creek Viaduct. It is outside of Duffield VA on Route 58. I hope to shoot a drone/motorcycle/kayak video of it this summer. That is a lot of moving parts. We’ll see if we are able to pull it off. As far as I know no goatmen have been seen on that one. : )

Enjoy your Saturday & your weekend.

NOTE: The blog has a menu with more video content. On a computer it is at the top of the screen. On a tablet or mobile device it is the 3 stacked slashes to the right of the word ASTRA. Enjoy the blog.

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.
